Shacks Beach

Shacks Beach Isabela - Puerto Rico 4K

Shacks beach is my most favourite beach in the North West of Puerto Rico. It has a beautiful outside reef, which is quite a swim to get there, but worth the dive an a cavern system below the reef, which divers should only visit with a local tour guide.

If you plan to visit the beaches of Puerto Rico, please ensure that you do not step on corals. Do not touch anything under water and keep the beaches clean. Preserve the beauty you will find for other who might come after you.

Video footage got taken with
a DJI Mavic 2 Pro for all aerial shots
a DJI Osmo Pocket for all land related footage
and a DJI Osmo Action for all underwater footage

Snorkeling Shacks Beach, Isabela, Puerto Rico 22 SEP 18

Wow- it's been a while since we posted. We had a busy summer. We moved from Cabo Rojo to Aguadilla, then I went to Kentucky for work for nearly 2 months. Meanwhile, Emily and the kids took a nearly 2-month vacation to visit family. When we got back together we took some time to unpack our house. We took a quick trip to Vieques (another little island)- tons of fun and we have video, just need time to edit it. Work has been busy for me, but we got out on Saturday, 22 SEP to do some snorkeling. Shacks beach was awesome! It seems that it isn't always though- we went last weekend, and there were huge waves (got more video- if I get to editing it). Way too much to be able to snorkel. Maybe we can try again soon. Winter is wavier here, so may have to travel south for some good snorkeling.

A little about us: In May of 2017 our family moved from Central Texas to Puerto Rico. This is the 6th move for the family since 2009.
We wanted to share our experiences here with anyone who is interested. There are a lot of fun things about the island, and some challenges and major differences from living in the States as well.
We were also here through Hurricane Maria in SEP 2017.

One Wave. Shacks Beach, Isabela Puerto Rico

first wave of the first day of the trip. and it was fun waves every morning for a week!
my 50th birthday trip, and I am way out of surfing shape. These days I'm taking it over the Coral Reef laying down. These waves have a ton of power, coming from deep water and breaking on the reef...woo hoo, indeed.

Shacks Beach Snorkeling- Blue Holes (16 FEB 19)

Found a rare (for this time of year) day that wasn't too wavy at Shacks beach in NorthWest Puerto Rico. It's near Isabela and Aguadilla. Jobos beach is a surfer's beach near the area- this is much better for diving and snorkeling than Jobos. I have other videos on how to get here, look for them if you want to know.
Water was quite clear, though out in the blue holes (close to the breakers) it was a little stirred up. We didn't see as much wildlife as sometimes, but the topography of this place is amazing. SCUBA divers go here a lot and can explore underwater caves and cliffs. It was around 30 feet deep- I'm working on my depth and bottom-time, but don't get too aggressive as Emily can't dive far to get me if I needed her to pull me up sometime.
I was looking for nurse sharks under the ledges, but didn't see any. I wasn't too sure I wanted to, but looked anyhow. We've been here almost 2 years and probably hundreds of hours in the water, and still haven't seen a shark. Like I said, not too sure I want to, but a little one might be ok.

Shacks Beach - Isabela - PR

Probably my favorite place I have ever snorkeled. Shacks Beach located in Isabela Puerto Rico is full of different types of reef and coral along with amazing underwater caves! Epic place to free dive through underwater caves. We also saw an octopus for the first time. 2015 Orange Vacation. #Orangesacrosspuertorico

Snorkeling at Shacks Beach Isabela Puerto Rico The Blue Hole

goseepr.com - This is the exact spot of our map marker for Shacks Beach Puerto Rico. This is the Blue Hole. It is awesome how the reef drops off from 0-3 feet deep all the way to 30 feet instantly! The coolest part is that it is fully contained by the reef, so it's like a giant swimming pool.

Waves on reef at Shacks Beach Isabela Puerto Rico

goseepr.com - Snorkeling at Shacks Beach in Isabela Puerto Rico is a blast. This is small section of reef with some small waves crashing over it. Towards the end of the video you can see a small trench in the reef that had a shockingly strong current ripping through it.

Snorkeling the reef ledge at Shacks Beach Isabela Puerto Rico

goseepr.com - You can not see it in the video but the water around the flat reef was about 20 degrees warmer than the water after it dropped off. In person you could see heat waves in the water and the contrast between cool and hot water.
