Playa Caribe

Fine white sand, ten minutes from the island’s best sunset.

Best time
Afternoon
Area
North coast
Duration
3–5 h

Playa Caribe has the whitest, finest sand on this stretch of coast and a line of shaded shacks. It sits right next to Juan Griego, which makes it a perfect afternoon plan: beach until half past five, then sunset from the fort ten minutes away.
