It\u2019s tucked away behind a neighborhood, and almost impossible to find, with hole-pocked dirt roads that aren\u2019t found on GPS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you require amenities, don\u2019t come here. There are no bathrooms, no official parking lot, no food stands or restaurants. But if you\u2019re willing to pack your own food and drinks, have a sense of adventure and want to experience something different, by all means, come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We paid a local to park in a yard in the neighborhood, not wanting to receive a parking ticket as we had done at Playa Montones a week earlier. It was $5 well spent. The walk to Playa Pe\u00f1a Blanca from the neighborhood was short, though a little rugged closer to the beach. We came back another day via a back road not found on GPS, which took us to a small parking area right beside the beach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Playa Pe\u00f1a Blanca is a clean, intimate, secluded spot with crystal clear waters and interesting snorkeling. The left side is a little wilder, with stone steps down a hillside to where white karst cliff walls and caves abut the golden sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s hard to describe the appeal. You just have to experience it yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpuertorico.com\/profile\/pena-blanca-beach\/9468#profile-overview\" target=\"_blank\">Info<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puertoricodaytrips.com\/playa-pena-blanca\/\" target=\"_blank\">More Info<\/a><br><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/4sQw4xQ8HoWNQpgj7\" target=\"_blank\">Map<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of our favorite beaches on the northeast corner of Puerto Rico is Playa Pe\u00f1a Blanca, a secluded beach in Aguadilla distinguished by white cliffs and interesting snorkeling.
