Camuy River Cave Park Tour in Camuy

Playa Peñon Brusi is located on the north coast of Puerto Rico in the town of Camuy, best known for the Camuy River Cave Park, one of the top natural attractions on the island. If you’re visiting the cavern, this beach is a nice addition to your itinerary. Peñon Brusi is a nice quiet beach mostly visited by locals, with the simplicity of island life, not a touristy spot. Its name derives from the rocky outcrop called Peñon Brusi, where the prettiest part of the beach and tidal pools are located.

The beach area in between the outcrop and the beach is nice for bathing and snorkeling when the water conditions are right. During the summer months, you can do a little snorkeling and enjoy the walking trails through sand dunes. At Peñon Brusi, you’ll enjoy a long walk on the beach, beachcombing for sea glass and shells, watching the surf, and experiencing a more authentic, relaxed island vibe. Most people stay near the entrance and parking area because of the convenience; you’ll have to walk a little to get to the most scenic part of the beach.

We’ve been to this beach other times and we were pleasantly surprised by the changes made by the municipality, such as the addition of a supersized chair perfect for a cool vacation photo. The beach was clean, free of trash, and the vibe nice and relaxed, we went on a weekday

Playa Peñon Brusi is unique, with two personalities that change with the seasons.
