West-facing beaches with golden hour potential and evening access.

La Pared
beach
lower-intermediate

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.

La Selva
point
upper-intermediate

La Selva is a secluded surf zone within the Northeast Ecological Corridor near Luquillo. A NE swell wraps into the headland, producing a right‑hand point wave with adjacent beach‑break peaks. Intermediate and advanced surfers enjoy 4–8 ft waves in an unspoiled setting backed by palms and El Yunque rainforest. Access requires a hike or 4×4 and the area is protected as a sea‑turtle reserve.
