Bocagrande Beach

There's nothing more enjoyable than spending time by the water. Round up the kids, arrange a picnic and enjoy the fresh air at Bocagrande Beach.

Situated in Bocagrande, this stretch of coastline is well worth including on your itinerary. But you'll find a great deal more to explore in this area. San Felipe de Barajas Castle, San Pedro Claver Church and Convent, and San Fernando Fort aren't too far from Bocagrande Beach.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveler

The water is cloudy/muddy. Very crowded, Trash all over the beach. Harassed constantly by vendors selling tours, bracelets, massages, jewelery.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Boca grande beach is not really very aesthetically pleasing (think orchard beach in the Bronx). Locals do go there, but I wouldn't recommend for tourists; the water isn't clear or blue and the sand isn't white. Also there are A LOT of people here trying to sell you things CONSTANTLY so not the best place to enjoy a relaxing at the beach.

4/5 - Good

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

The beach is lovely but there are so many people there selling things, it kind of takes away from the experience.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

it was good, but vendors on the beach were getting annoying trying to sell something. Even tho you were telling them NO, they will continue pushing their services. Other than that, beach was clean and relaxing.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

Did not bother to take a picture of such a basic and very ugly beach
