| About these ratings | ||
Located near the Isla Verde resort area in Greater San Juan, lengthy Carolina Beach is one of the most popular public beaches. Families especially love its white sand, warm water and that there's an on-duty lifeguard. What they're not so thrilled with are the crowds. The best times to visit are early in the morning or later in the afternoon, after the port-of-call sunbathers have re-boarded their cruise ship.
Carolina Beach is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day. You can visit for free, but there's a $2 parking fee.
