Secret Beach, also known by its local name Pata Prieta, is located in Vieques, an island off the coast of Puerto Rico. It is renowned for its clear, turquoise waters and soft, powdery sand. The beach is secluded, offering a tranquil experience to its visitors. The water at Secret Beach is described as perfect, with a moderate and gradual drop-off, unlike the too shallow Media Luna or the too quick Sun Bay.
The beach is surrounded by natural beauty, with opportunities for snorkeling to the left and right of the beach. However, visitors are advised not to hug the shore while snorkeling. The beach is also home to bees, which, while not aggressive, may swarm around food and drinks.
Access to Secret Beach can be challenging. The side road leading to the beach is characterized by sharp rocks and a steep hill. It is recommended to use a Jeep or a 4-wheel drive vehicle to navigate this terrain. Despite these challenges, many visitors find the journey to the beach worth the effort, often spending many hours enjoying the solitude.
Parking at Secret Beach may require a bit of a rocky hike from the parking spot to the beach itself. Visitors are advised to be prepared for this part of the experience. Despite these minor inconveniences, Secret Beach remains a popular destination for beach-goers seeking a serene and secluded beach experience.
