Atlantic Beach (Condado)

San Juan's gay beach sits at the end of Calle Vendig in Condado - the stretch of Atlantic sand long anchored by the gay bars and hotels of the block behind it. The crowd is a friendly mix of locals and travelers, busiest on weekend afternoons. Practical: no formal services on the sand, but the Condado strip's bars and cafes are steps away; the Atlantic here has real surf - swim with attention. The beach connects naturally with an evening on the Condado scene.
