It was so windy we could only stay for a couple of minutes The sand whipping against our skin actually hurt! But for kite surfers, it was likely a gift from God. And it explained the location of the nearby wind farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further down the same road, on the edge of the Punta Petrona Nature Reserve, we happened upon mostly deserted Playa Jauca. It was a black-sand beach with a few shade trees and a lot of mangroves, in quiet, shallow Jauca Bay, well-protected from the wind. We spent a relaxing couple of hours and even enjoyed a visit from the piragua guy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverpuertorico.com\/regions\/south\/santa-isabel\">Info<\/a><br>Map:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/DAmd7Uu2gCHsaTTk7\">Playa Clavellina<\/a><br>Map:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/tK68k12WWy46MoC29\">Playa Jauca<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re searching for a good beach near Ponce, Puerto Rico, you might want to visit Playas Clavellina and Jauca.
