About Long Beach
Playa Largu sits on the San Juan coast as a sheltered reef dive with a shallow start and a quicker drop-off farther out. The site is valued for coral growth, sponge-covered sections, and relaxed snorkeling or scuba when the sea is settled. Access is basic rather than resort-style, so plan for a simple entry and a low-key dive day instead of beach amenities.
