Parque Nacional Balneario Seven Seas

A beautiful beach street-​side, with an easy and calm sea, ideal for families. The proximity to the street makes it a bit noisy and busy, and the sea is not very clear. Not my favorite beach but still a nice one. Right next door is the entrance to «Cabezas San Juan» national wildlife refuge, which is a great spot for an eco-​tour around the mangrove forests, lagoon and lighthouse.

I visited this beach on a Tuesday and it was closed from the main entrance. However, there were plenty of people who still managed to get in and enjoy this small beauty of a park and beach, They have small cabana like areas that you rent for $ 20 for the day
I did see a lot of seaweed and the sand and water wasn’t as pretty as liqullo beach but still pretty. The beach was quiet and serene and people appeared to be enjoying themselves. I walked up and down in the water and just enjoyed the views. I read on Unilocal I could have kept walking and there’s a path that takes out to another part but I was too tired to explore and it was getting late.
If I am in this area again I wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

Beautiful beach. In fact, I’d say this is the only beach in Fajardo that’s worth driving out for if you aren’t already nearby.
Yes, it can get crowded, but with such a large beach, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a somewhat-​private area for yourself. Just keep walking!
Not so great for snorkeling though. All you’ll see is tons of sea grass.
Secret: this beach provides a direct (if a bit less-​than-​legal) access to the famous bioluminescent bay. Just keep walking to the right of the beach and looking through the vegetation (keep an eye out for iguanas too, they’re pretty rad, obviously). Eventually, you’ll find a spot where you can easily walk through the trees less than a hundred feet or so and be standing on the shore of Laguna Grande.

The first beach we went to, and I’m glad it was.
It gradually filled up with so many families which was so much fun to see – and I mean WHOLE families – babies in strollers and grandparents in wheelchairs.
Watch out for the trees, as the stuff that fell off of them stayed on my ( Unilocal elite) towel for the whole trip. My bad for putting it in a pile of what looked like pine needles.
There’s a secret part, which I’ll be adding…

Nice beach not too crowded with plenty of shady areas. Water was crystal clear, warm and not too choppy. Enjoyed this northeastern beach very much

We went on a Tuesday and it was closed. It was difficult to find parking. The beach has natural beauty as it is surrounded by mountains and lots of trees. I have been here twice; during stormier weather the water of course is murky. And on clear days it’s a beautiful blue and you can almost see the bottom. There are a lot of rocks, but there are spots where there are no rocks. The beach is shaded by palms and pines which creates a beautiful shaded area but also leaves pine needles and pine cones on the ground to be stepped on which is kind of painful. The beach was cleanish… I Find most Puerto Rican beaches are not what I would call clean. Sadly recycling and picking up after yourself isn’t natural here yet. There are great places to eat very close by, we tried two places and found both of them delicious.

Seven Seas is a very nice public beach and national park about 30 miles West of San Juan and is clean with a protected swimming area, public toilets, life guards, and access to a nearby snack bar (pastilillos).
Parking is $ 5.35, but worth the price thanks to the attendant who watches over the lot. There is street parking, but we were told that the police ticket cars, so pay the price or park in Casa de Los Patilillos parking lot. The beach is adjacent to both parking lots.
You can avoid paying the $ 5.35 parking fee by visiting on Monday or Tuesday when the national park is closed and park your car at Casa de Los Patilillos. Tito, the owner, is very friendly and speaks excellent English. He has a full bar, soft drinks, pastalillos (homemade deep-​fried dough pastries with a variety of savory and sweet fillings), and entrees. We tried the ham and cheese (jamon con queso), ham and pineapple (jamon con piña) and beef and cheese (carne con queso), and all three were hot, fresh, and delicious!
The very fine sand on the beach is easy on the feet, but adheres easily to the skin. Much better than the rocky beaches of Greece, the sand is easily brushed or washed away with a towel or the sea.
The water drops off to about three feet then quickly drops off. There are numerous species of fish inside the reef, so bring your snorkeling gear. The bottom is sand and small, smooth rocks, and is easy on the feet. Water temperature was probably in the high 70’s, perfectly cool enough to refresh while not so cold it shocks the system.
Mostly families and couples, Seven Seas is highly recommended while in the Northwest part of the island.

Careful with the rocks. You will hurt yourself definitely if you swim in the part close to the entrance. It looks sandy and beautiful but it is all rocky. We found out later on that there is a flag after which the beach becomes less rocky. It is calm though at this time of the year as we noticed!

great beach and area.

We ended up at this campground after being informed to our horror that we couldn’t camp at El Yunque. Subsequent investigation makes me believe we were fed a line of crapola, but whatever the truth, we were clearly told that our planned overnight adventure in El Yunque was not to be. Oh well, surely there are other places to camp not too far away? A few phone calls resulted in a drive to Fajardo and the Playa Seven Seas Campground, where (we were told) there were shower and toilet facilities, and overnight security, for a reasonable $ 10 per night.
Well, don’t believe everything you read or hear. Yes, there were security guards (until 11pm), but the «facilities» were horrifying. To be fair, this was a Saturday on a busy summer weekend. But I wouldn’t have used any of those toilets if you had paid me, when in fact I had paid them $ 20 for the privilege of seeing those toilets. That’s right — the quote we received of $ 10 a night failed to mention that there was a two-​night minimum charge. I really wanted a shower that evening, but only one shower was functional, and there was a line of about 20 girls waiting for it.
So I don’t have much positive to say about the upkeep of the campground. As for the clientele… there were many families spending their weekend at Seven Seas. Unfortunately, there was also a large group of people that stayed awake all night banging on bongos that echoed throughout the whole grounds. There was also a man who insisted on re-​arming his car alarm each and every time he walked to his car to turn off the damned thing.
If the beach itself had been beautiful, I would have given this balneario three stars. But it wasn’t particularly nice, and in fact was difficult to enter because there was so much exposed rock. Be sure to bring your booties so you can get in and out without injuring yourself.
