Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Balneario Carolina is a lovely public beach and a local favorite just east of Isla Verde in San Juan, Puerto Rico. You pay $5 for parking, and in return have a clean white-sand beach with minimal waves, as well as clean bathrooms, showers and food stands. Is there anything better than enjoying a mojito from your beach chair while you watch the waves? The beach has attractions for every age and stage, with watersports, a Beach Volleyball court, and a small water park for the kids. At the far end, a stage is sometimes set up for major concert events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an even calmer and distinctly Puerto Rican experience, head a little farther east to &amp; Terraplen La Posita de Pi\u00f1ones. You\u2019ll park (for free) on the road or in one of several small parking lots, and there are no facilities. However, there is a beach chair vendor and several little eateries to buy your Puerto Rican <em>frituras<\/em> (various fried foods). This is a great beach for families because a reef protects the shoreline from waves, so small children can play in the shallow water without causing their parents worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Info:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpuertorico.com\/profile\/balneario-de-carolina\/7704\" target=\"_blank\">Balneario Carolina<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpuertorico.com\/profile\/playa-la-posita\/8954\" target=\"_blank\">Terraplen La Posita de Pi\u00f1ones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maps:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/vzuMf9c3Yigeg4BS6\" target=\"_blank\">Balneario Carolina<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/cCuq2eiRJjDwW4AK8\" target=\"_blank\">Terraplen La Posita de Pi\u00f1ones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Balneario Carolina and Terraplen La Posita de Pi\u00f1ones are among the most popular local beaches for people living in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
