Hello!

This video was filmed on July 5th! We visited Manati and relaxed at one of my favorite beaches - Mar Chiquita.

More about this beach -

Along the north coast of Puerto Rico, there are various natural pool beaches, Mar Chiquita is among the most popular, just 45 minutes west from the capital city of San Juan. Along the cliffs, an opening allows the waters of the Atlantic to rush in creating a refreshing natural pool.

A legend explains how the beach was formed: A beautiful Puerto Rican woman used to walk along near the edge of the cliff. One day as she was walking, an earthquake caused her to slip and fall into the ocean. Miraculously, part of the cliff breaks, the current that began to flow between the rocks pulled her back to the shore, saving her life. Mar Chiquita was formed and remains today for everyone to enjoy.

The water on this natural pool is crystal clear, constantly refreshed with every wave that pushes from the ocean through the channel. The mesmerizing shades of emerald green and turquoise blue invite visitors to jump in. Depth and clarity of the water changes with the weather conditions and seasons.

The personality of Mar Chiquita changes through the year. During the summer, the water calmly comes in through the channel, the pool remains clear with relaxed gentle waves. During the winter months, this perfectly shaped little beach is completely changed when storms move across the north. Waves crash against the rock wall going up as high as 25 feet, rushing down like fierce waterfalls. The water rushes in through the channel with fury, giving beach goers a great wave show but warning them to stay away from the water. It is really important not to climb the cliffs, waves can potentially cause a fall, injuries and fatal accidents.
