On a recent trip to the west side of Puerto Rico, we wanted a place to do some snorkeling, since we had dragged our gear on the airplane! Fodor's recommended Crashboat Beach and so we drove the 20 minutes to the beach.
We pulled in shortly before 10, found a great place to park and put our towels, keys and sandals on a picnic table. We put ...

The One review that matters
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/18/08
I think this beach is one of if not the best on the island. I go to P.R 2-3 times a yr on average. This beach is a delight to go to. When you go down the winding road on the hill side leading to the beach the view is purely spectacular. Upon arrival parking is plentiful and there is enough local vendors selling food at reasonable prices so $10 a ...

You park your car. Bring your gear to the water's edge and walk into glass like water! The old piers have ENORMOUS sponges that you could about sit in if it wouldn't kill them. Though not a lot of corals, what there are of them are in lovely shades of colors like a delicate lilac/lavendar color and it's allowed to feed fish, unlike in ...

Clean family fun, cheap.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 03/22/08
Very clean beach on the west side of the island, good clean family fun with beautiful views and lots of character. Small road side vendors close to the beach. Great for those travelers who want a real feel for Puerto Rico and not just the tourist areas. YOULL FEEL ALL THE PUERTORICAN HERITAGE WHEN YOUR THERE.

My beautiful hometown and the best beach!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/04/08
I love the atmosphere, the people, the crystal clear blue water, the fish offered at a small restaurant on the beach. It's all fun and play. It's always great to go back home, relax and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. I would definitely recommend going here to anyone who hasn't been here yet. Once you go, you will never want to go back home, trust me!

Second time ever snorkling was at Crash Beach
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/20/07
Crash Beach was wonderful! I enjoyed the crystal waters and exploring the sea floor and the strange fish I found there which I still haven't been able to idenitify. My Husband and I took our three grown children and my son's girlfriend. It was a trip of a lifetime and Crash Beach is on place I'll return when I'm in Puerto Rico again.

Crashboat: PR's best kept secret
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/13/07
This is the most beautiful beach I have ever seen. I've been to Hawaii, New Zealand, Cancun, Sydney, etc. Six feet into the water and I could see my toes CLEARLY. There are little caves along the cliff and the sand is as white as the KKK. The people are friendly and as nice as they come. You will never stumble on crashboat. You have to be ...
