Review:
Balneario El Escambron is one of San Juan's most picturesque beachfronts, offering soft golden sands and turquoise waters surrounded by a spectacular barrier reef. The beach, which is located in Puerta de Tierra within walking distance of the Old San Juan area, is separated into three separate beachfront areas, including its main beach area at Playa 8, which offers ample shade from coconut palm trees.
Playa 9, or Bateria El Escambrón, is known as a prime family-friendly spot for its shallow waters, as well as a great launching-off point for snorkelers and scuba divers. On Playa 10, or Playita del Condado, beachgoers can make use of the beach's outdoor gymnasium. The Kiosko El Escambrón serves up Puerto Rican-style delicacies on Playa 8, while a walking trail along the waterfront leads to the historic sites at Bateria El Escambrón.
