Mar Chiquita is known for its picturesque crescent-shaped shoreline that forms a natural pool enclosed by rocky cliffs.

Mar Chiquita is a beautiful Caribbean beach located on the north coast of Puerto Rico, near the municipality of Manatí. 

We visited Mar Chiquita on 10/6/2019. The beach is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and stunning views. The beach is surrounded by lush vegetation and palm trees, providing ample shade for those seeking relief from the hot sun.

The natural pool created by the rock formations is perfect for swimming, and visitors can also enjoy water sports such as kayaking and paddleboarding. The beach is also great for snorkeling, as there are plenty of marine creatures to discover in the clear waters.

There are facilities available at Mar Chiquita, including restrooms, showers, and food vendors. The beach can get quite busy during peak season, so it's best to arrive early to secure a good spot.

Overall, Mar Chiquita is a must-visit destination in Puerto Rico for anyone who loves nature, swimming, and stunning views.
