Don't let the nickname fool you! La Playuela, commonly known as Playa Sucia, is one of the most beautiful natural beaches in southwestern Puerto Rico.

This crescent-shaped beach sits within the Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge near the famous Los Morrillos Lighthouse.

The combination of turquoise water, white sand, cliffs, and surrounding natural landscape makes it a spectacular place to spend a few hours.

There are no lifeguards or major facilities at the beach, so bring water, sunscreen, and everything you'll need for your visit.
