Another one of our favorites, Piñoes beach is awesome because even though the seas beyond the reef can be rough, the huge tide pool near the shore is always calm, shallow and safe for kids. But if you don't put on your snorkle mask you'll miss out on half the fun! This tide pool is a mega aquarium teaming with sea life from schools of tiny tropical fish to small octopi. The tide pool is shallow, 3 ft to 5 feet at its deepest, so it's easy to navigate your way to the reef and climb up to view more amazing creatures too. Best to keep your swim shoes on if you plan to walk up there. Be mindful of sea urchins on your way, and as always "look where you're stepping" or it could be a bad day for both you and that creature! Also, one of the best spots for beachcombers around. Super popular destination on nice days, but parking is usually available roadside or across the street in the lot. If you get hungry continue along the beach drive between Piñones and Carolina where you'll find top rate seafood dining, fresh coconuts and local sweets, and tons of street food joints (mostly serving fried alcapurrias).

Chinchorreo in Piñones Roadside food stand-hopping is what Puerto Ricans call chinchorreo, something you will have plenty of opportunity to do if you travel the rural roads of Piñones, the region where Carolina is located. The coastal line — one of Puerto Rico’s most picturesque drives — runs from Carolina to Loíza, and you can stop at many beaches and food kiosks along the way. Pick a secluded patch of sand at beaches like La Pocita and Vacía Talega to enjoy the peaceful waves; afterwards, sidle up to a chinchorro for a beer and snacks of crispy bacalaíto (codfish fritters) or alcapurria (green plantain and taro root fritters).
