Gri-Gri Lagoon in Rio San Juan. A 10-minute taxi ride will take you to a guided boat ride through mangrove thickets and crystal clear water. A nature-lover’s paradise.

Off-road parking for a few cars.

QUALITY OF BEACH:
A small gorgeous cove situated between two bluffs. Calm water.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
A serene, secluded beach just a short walk from Playa Grande. Unfortunately - aesthetically speaking - there is a concrete roadway overpass built near the beach to allow for a small stream to work its way into the sea. Fortunately it is set back some distance and doesn't detract from this magnificent beach site.
