Playa Sardinera – Isabela, Puerto Rico

Punta Sardinera greets you with its deep blues as you come down the hill from El Pueblo of Isabela (center square of Isabela) towards the coastline.    Sardineras is conveniently located at the bottom of the town of Isabela right across from kiosks where seniors know they’ll get good and cheap empanadillas and their favorite drinks at true local prices.  This area is also known as Villa Pesquera, where local fishermen tend to come in with their boats and congregate.  The beach begins at Punta Sardinera, on the east corner you’ll find families with little ones at the gorgeous Posita Sardinera, and continues in the shape of a crescent leading up to more stunning beaches along the Isabela coastline. 

Sardinera Beach is not safe for swimming due to strong currents.  Locals warn that even throughout the summer months when the water seems calmer, Sardinera Bech is still not safe for swimming.  The beauty of Sardineras certainly makes this beach worth visiting for those that love long walks on the beach and few crowds.
