About This Spot
La Pared is the most accessible surf beach near San Juan. It's a consistent beach break that turns on with NE to E swells and W winds, producing multiple peaks for beginners and intermediates. The town of Luquillo backs the beach, offering amenities and a lively atmosphere, but rip currents mean it's rarely a safe swimming beach.
Local Etiquette
