About Escambrón Beach
Escambrón Beach is a sandy beach located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. OpenStreetMap lists a lifeguard station nearby, and the beach has an area of 13,586 square meters. The nearest town, San Juan, is 2.814 kilometers away.
El Escambrón Beach (Spanish: Balneario del Escambrón) is a public-access beach located in the San Juan Antiguo sub-district (subbarrio) of Puerta de Tierra, next to the Luis Muñoz Rivera Park in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The beach and recreational complex are located on the grounds of the former Escambrón Beach Club and Hotel which featured a large swimming pool enclosed by breakwaters. Although the pool no longer exists, the beach is still enclosed by a series of coral reefs and other natural breakwaters, such as the Peñón de San Jorge reef, making it popular for swimmers and families.
