Beautiful setting, clear, calm waters. A tropical paradise!

Dont forget to take a pair of goggles with you. There are some rock out croppings literally just a few feet into the water that you would be able to see some fish swimming around. Worth the walk to get there. It says adults only here, but there were children at this beach.

Super nice beach without too many people, and the water is nice to relax in, its about a 20 minute hike from Seven seas beach, the scenery on the way is beautiful.

The trek to get here was stunning, completely took my breath away and I felt like i was in a fairytale. I had low expectations and thought it would be extremely difficult with mud due to the rain, but it had all dried by the time I got there and it was magnificent. I started out 45 minutes before sunset and the lighting was perfect. It took time, but was my favorite part of the entire trip to PR. It was darker by the time I got to the beach, but everyone else had already left and I’d met on the trial. It’s a beautiful solitary beach. Highly recommend to spend an afternoon here if you want alone time!

Its a beautiful and amazing beach but I do recommend if you want to have it for yourself go early in the morning or week days.

Beautiful and breath taking beach. It feels like a dream in real life. Just amazing!

A secluded hidden beach after a 45 minutes (at least for us) hiking walk off Seven Seas beach. Clear water, distance view of El Yunque, no one else there when we went.Pay for parking at Seven Seas and walk/hike to it. When you come back if you want to use the restroom/shower its a $1 per person.

Beautiful beach. Beautiful views. Would definitely recommend going here, its worth the short walk!!

Very difficult to get to but private while we were there

Today was an excellent day at this marvelous beach. One of the best in the north east of this beautiful island.Great for casual beach goers, body boarders and surfers.

Hidden beach (almost). Amazing place to have a quite time woth your friends and family. We got to enjoy a stunning sunset one fine evening.

You have to walk about 15 minutes from the Seven seas beach but you will find a really beautiful and relaxing place. This is one of my favorites beaches in the west side of Puerto Rico.

Beautiful small beach to explore after a short hike!

This beach is very nice under the right conditions, but it has its drawbacks. There is some garbage around certain parts of the beach and the gnats are pretty intense. To the far right there are cool rocks to climb on. At high tide there is essentially no beach on the north side, but at low tide the beach is pretty big. It is about a 35 or 45 minute walk from Seven Seas beach to get to Escondida, but its a pretty easy walk with other small beach options along the way. The good part is that the long walk makes it so that the beach is very quiet and peaceful.

This beach is about a 25 - 45 minute walk depending on fitness. The first part is the hardest but there will likely be mud the entire way. Persevere, trust me.

Absolutely beautiful. 2 mile hike so pack lightly ...but...i got flashed. Ive seen worse, but remeber, your pretty alone there.

Very beautiful and calm beach, its waist height until about 100 feet out. The water is clear and the sand is nice. Plenty of spots to find shade during a hot day. The walk there is long and muddy, but its part of the adventure! It wouldnt be called the Hidden Beach if it was easy to get to!

Awesome beach very secluded clean and clear, definitely going back

Because of the rocks and the natural ecosystem on this beach, this one is not so much for swimming or getting into the water. Is more for relaxing, sightseeing and sun bathing. Is not that easy to find. You have to follow a trail that is almost a secret. If you are lucky, you will see some wild life during your walk. PLEASE, do not bother or kill the wild life there... remember, your are in their habitat. Is also other hidden beaches on the same area, be sure you are informed before you start your journey to this hidden gems.

Beautiful views ,,,you have to walk 10 minutes but its worth it

Awesome experience!

WARNING: SWIMMERSPlaya Escondida is a beautiful beach - its clean and doesnt get very crowded. The ocean is crystal clear and appears rather calm. There are rather strong currents so dont let the calm appearance fool you. There have been multiple fatal drownings in the waters at this beach.You can access the beach by walking a path that begins at the Seven Seas beach - the path does get a little muddy and is rather buggy so be prepared. There are no facilities so make sure to bring what ever you need for the day, but be prepared to carry it back out with you.

The walk there is horribly muddy. Some spots had 2-3 of stanind water and took about 20 minutes to walk. I came out with a lot of bug bites. But the beach itself is beautiful and is great for looking for sea shells. Its not a good beach to swim in.

Good local beach if youre looking for a quiet secluded area. There are almost no tourists here. Waves are calm and almost no rocks. You might want to bring a cooler for drinks.

Loved the quiet and peacefulness of this beach, barely anyone around during the weekdays. The water is calmed and serene. Love the sand and nature around it, you can see El Yunque and the Sierra de Luquillo from a distance. Beautiful scenery!!!!!

Incredible!

This is an amazing place visually. 4 start for the views and location. As far as the rest, its not the best beach to sit at. There is not much shade so you have to bring your own. It takes some time to get to this beach but its worth it to experience it at least once. I

Beautiful! You have to take a trail to get to it.

Awesome Beach! Excellent for families

Love the trail

Hiding behind lots of trees there is a piece of paradise. Awesome beach, its not deep at all, like 3 or 4 feet deep if you go in a little further. Great place for pictures, to relax, enjoy the awesome sights of nature and its sounds, and have a good time with the entire family. This place doesnt have trash cans nearby so be sure to bring something to take your trash with you. Its an aproximately 20-25 minutes walk in the wilderness through a trail mostly covered by trees.

For snorkeling is super awesome

Beautiful beyond words. The sand is not as white as some beaches. The insect ridden trail to reach this beach is rough going. You may not even have an enjoyable visit due to any number of issues. But should you decide to try to make this trip, it may become one of your top favorite beaches as it is mine.

Worth the walk. Pet friendly.

Paradise

This is one of the best beaches in all PR. The water is super clear and after a 45 minute walk/hike it feels even better. Not everyone want to take the journey to get to Playa Escondida when the first stop is Seven Seas beach, and take makes Escondida great because there isnt that many people. Overall a relaxing, calm and beautiful beach.

Great experience for adventurers and hikers who would like to also relax if tired. The walk from the public beach takes about 10-15 minutes, but is worth the peacefulness and beauty.

Me and the family loves this place.

Beautiful

Gorgeous. Totally worth the walk.

Escondida is a perfect hiking destination that not only offers an amazing beach, but also gives you the opportunity to almost have the place to yourself! It is a little bit of a hike, but the terrain is easy. However, if it has been raining, you will need shoes to handle the mud. By the way, NO FLIP-FLOPS...you will hate yourself...trust me....The trail takes about 45 minutes, starting at the end of Seven Seas Beach. Bring water and a sugary snack for the way back.A must see if you are in Fajardo! And dont even think about starting your day without stopping in at Cafe Playero first; you can thank me later!

Ill give it the benefit of the doubt. The beach was beautiful, and the hike there was possibly better than the actual beach. However, we got there at about dusk and were greeted by tiny biting bigs (sand fleas or mites?) that made us want to leave asap. Not sure if its just that time of day, or what.

Beauitful water

Great place to visit away from the tourist beach. The trail is all the way to the left of the main beach. Well worth the hike.

We took the path to Escondida Beach from Seven Seas Beach. The beaten path is quite easy to follow and it took about 20 mins travel each way. When we went the water was very clear which allowed for a great snorkeling experience. There were not store/shops near by so be sure to take your own water and food. It is well worth the hike!

About 20 minute walk from the end of Seven Seas beach, but worth it. Waves are practically none, lots of vegetation for shade. Great place to take pets, such as dogs, for a swim.

Wear shoes, its a 20 min hike, not real well marked, but common sense will get you there. Worth the trip, just take an umbrella and waters.

Good place to go out fishing accesible and good food

Hidden treasure! You have to walk like 30 minutes, so go with sport shoes!

Very Quiet...and Family oriented.

Beach was clean worth the hike to get there

Shallow cristaline water. Good for sitting or floating. 20 min walk from 7 seas beach. Pack light. Worth it. If you go take back the trash to seven sea, as there are no trash bins there.

It was a bit of a hike but its a real gem. Apparently there are some really bad rip currents so the ocean is just for looking but it looks great!

There was only one other couple there when we visited on a Friday morning, so it gets high marks for solitude. The water was very calm for easy (if a little boring) swimming. However, it alternated between rocky and sandy wading out; not ideal in a swimming beach. There beach itself is relatively narrow. We found a few shady spots in the morning but it would be full sun later in the afternoon. Sand was golden brown with a fine texture and very nice. Id read some reviews that there was garbage, but it was pristine when we visited. I enjoyed the walk to the beach as much as the beach itself. Bottom line, its a nice beach, that isnt crowded, that doesnt quite cut it as a great swimming beach and isnt spectacularly beautiful to compensate.

20 min walk

Paradise on earth

The 30 min hike is worth it. One of a kind beach.

Very nice, quiet and beautiful scenery!

Cool walk thru an easy trail from seven seas, about 20-25min each way

I love this place. Perfect for kids because its shallow and protected from the waves by reefs.

Beautiful beach with a long trail

This beach is so beautiful and peaceful. The water is also very clear and calm. To get to it via GPS/Google Maps, type Seven Seas Beach as your destination, park in the lot there, go to seven seas beach and then ask people there for directions to Playa Escondida. Its about a 15 min walk thats pretty leveled (very low risk of slipping or falling). You cant drive to Playa Escondida. You wont regret it.

We came in March of 2018. We walked the trail to get there. No bugs. No mosquitos. We met 2 other couples on the trail. Beautiful clean beach. I hope people can take their trash out with them. Keep P.R. beautiful!

Beautiful beach. White sand and warm water

Beautiful

Twenty minute walk to a perfectly secluded beach with an absolutely stunning view. The path to Escondida can be found at the end of Parque Nacional Seven Seas, itself a publicly accessible beach. Follow the path to the end around the north side of the the lagoon, through tree cover. Tons of wildlife along the way from lizards to landcrabs to sandpipers to egrets.Econdida beach is quiet, was sparsely attended when we visited, and the water was super clear. Theres a sandbar and coral about 100 yards from the shoreline, so waves break far out and settle without any force on the beach itself. Perfect for wading in calm shallow water. We watched a group of pelicans dive and eat fish for a few hours. They hung out with us the whole time. This is pretty close to the Platonic ideal of a beach.

Awesome experience, clear, blue water.

Beautiful secluded place. A hidden gem

The best

Nice quiet beach, not a lot of people. Clear water, no waves, nice walk to arrive.

Not escondida anymore but still beautiful

Walk a trail to come out to this absolutely stunning beach! Crystal clear water, beautiful views, and gorgeous scenery makes this place a must visit!

Good beach to spend the with friends. Good for snorkeling.

It is a trek to get there, the beach was clean(ish) but the water was amazingly clear and calm. Not many people make the walk so you will have plenty of privacy.

This place used to be a paradise. Not many people knew about this place back then, but now...its all different. Very crowded and the water was dirty . I dont know if the hurricane has changed this beach for the worst or it was just a bad day. There are two beaches in the same path: Playa Colorá and Playa Escondida.Not good for snorkeling

Beautiful place but far from Seven Seas Public Beach...!

It’s truly a well kept secret the beauty of playa escondida ( hidden beach). Fajardo’s hidden treasure.

Its a 30 min hike from 7 seas beach but SO worth it. Note: since it is pretty hidden and not very crowded, you might find some nudity

Nice beach! Park in seven seas beach and walk for about 25 minutes through a dry trail that crosses the mangroves.

Great for relaxing, 25min walk

Beautiful beach, no people. However, it is not a place to swim, the sea is too rough.

Nice hidden beach better than the actual beach

Amazing, I really like it

Best beach in the east of the island. Lost of biodiversity, please keep the beach clean.

Superb hidden beach

Beautiful hidden beach!!

The trek was worth it. Very private and secluded beach.
