Description
Playa Jobos Beach is a favourite among locals for its relaxed atmoshphere and natural beauty. The farthest east point of Playa Jobos is marked by a naturally occuring rock wall formation, good for climbing and watching the waves crash. Take caution when climbing however, as strong waves can reach the top, espeically in winter. This beach is better for surfing than swimming as currents are strong. There are no lifeguards at Playa Jobos and on average one life is lost per year at the beach due to water condtions. There is a small cove area towards the east side that is good for snorkelling. Limited parking is available, however some nearby locals will let you park for $5. With lots of local food options near by, Playa Jobos is the perfect beach to meet Isabelinos (people from Isabela) and have an authenic Puerto Rican experience.
