What to see and do at Playa Los Bohios, Puerto Rico
Playa Los Bohios is a black sand beach with stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and nearby mountains
Playa Los Bohios is a black sand Caribbean beach on the southeast coast just north of the mouth of the Río Maunabo. Rain erodes the rocks in the mountains, and the black sand is washed down-river during heavy rain storms creating a black sand beach. The beach is a popular destination among both locals and tourists, and it's known for its clear turquoise waters, soft sand, and peaceful atmosphere.
