Guide

Good to know

Check weather before visiting
Waves are routinely high and conditions change, so calm days make the beach far more enjoyable than rough days.
Go for solitude and privacy
This is the most secluded beach on the island with minimal crowds.
Skip swimming, come for exploration
Strong currents, rocks near shore, and high waves make water entry difficult, but tide pools, tide-carved rocks.
Wear water shoes or bring protection
Sea urchins hide in rocky entrance areas and stepping into unseen holes is common.
Expect rough road access
The approach is rocky with potholes, and reviewers recommend four-wheel drive or at minimum expect difficult driving conditions.

Questions

Common questions

How far is the walk to the water at Playa Grande?
90 ft in a straight line from the listing to the mapped shoreline, under a minute. Soft sand and dune make the real walk longer than the straight line.
Does Playa Grande have restrooms?
No restrooms are mapped within 600 m on OpenStreetMap. That means nobody has mapped any, which is not the same as there being none.

Measured from OpenStreetMap, public aerial imagery and live conditions data, and counted from visitor reviews. Every source, in full.
