Located on Puerto Rico's western coast, Marias Beach is a well-known destination for surfers. Marias has a shallow reef, and consistent waves for both new and experienced surfers. When the waves are big, currents tend to be very strong. Marias Beach got its name during the 1968 World Surf Championships when many people set up tents behind the house of local resident Dona Maria, whos name has stuck with the beach since. You can take surf lessons and rent boards here with local venders. There are two popular cafe/bars nearby, perfect for taking in the areas' famous sunsets. On the beach there is an area great for sunbathing, but be careful for hidden or slippery rocks. Marias is also a great place to find sea glass!
Keep your distance from other people.
Practicing social distancing is still essential. Only go to the beach if you are able to keep 6 feet or 2 meters away from others. Follow the instructions provided by your local health authorities. If your community has asked that you remain indoors and away from others, do so. Spending a day in any crowded place is the worst thing we can do for our most vulnerable right now and will counter our efforts to curb the virus’s spread.
