Messy Suitcase Mini-Tour: Guayanés Beach in Yabucoa
Channel: Messy Suitcase!
Date: 2022-05-07

Guayanés Beach, in Yabucoa on the southeast coast of Puerto Rico, was lovely, quiet, and peaceful, for most of the day. It even had bathrooms! It was a lovely crescent of sand and turquoise sea with lively waves. I walked down to one end and found the most beautiful seashells I have seen on any beach in Puerto Rico, including a sand dollar.

Mid-afternoon, the peace was broken when a rural Puerto Rican family arrived with their horses in a trailer, and inadvertently entertained us by riding back and forth along the beach, and even taking their horses into the waves for a swim! By mid-afternoon, they had set up a party, complete with blasting speaker, behind us by the parking lot. 

About then, we noticed the ants under our feet in the grassy sand under a palm tree were starting to bite us viciously. We ended up with burning, itching bites and blisters on our feet for days.

I have a feeling that Guayanés Beach is a rollicking party on weekends! If you want quiet, weekday mornings are probably best. Just watch out for the red ants underfoot!
