Playa Buyé

A calm turquoise cove backed by trees in Cabo Rojo, sheltered enough for children and popular with local families.

Getting thereIn Cabo Rojo off PR-307, south of Boquerón
EntryFree; parking charged at some access points

Buyé is a short crescent of pale sand on the Cabo Rojo coast with clear shallow water, reef offshore that keeps it calm, and a line of sea grape and palms right behind the beach giving shade, which is rarer on this coast than it should be. It is a family beach used mostly by Puerto Ricans rather than visitors, busy at weekends and quiet during the week.

What you actually see

  • The cove - a short crescent of pale sand with shallow clear water.
  • The shade - sea grape and palms directly behind the sand.
  • The reef - coral offshore keeping the water calm.
  • The west coast sunsets - the sun going down over the water from the beach.

When to go

December to April is the drier season. Weekends and holidays are crowded with local families. Weekdays are much quieter.

Honest expectations

Parking is limited and charged at some access points, and it fills early at weekends. Facilities are basic. The beach is small and a few groups make it feel full.

Nearby

Boquerón is north, and Playa Sucia is south at the cape.
