Also known simply as Ecambron Beach, this part of the Puerto Rican coastline is found not far from Old San Juan and is a good place to base yourself if you're looking to explore the nearby historic areas.
El Escambron is a fantastic spot to do some snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming, and the sands here are nice and comfortable for a lazy afternoon of sunbathing as well. It's easily accessible from the downtown parts of San Juan, so it's one of the first beaches many tourists choose to visit. Map
