I have only been through Rio San Juan on the bus and don't recall any discussion about it on this board. Is it worth a visit? What is there to see and do in Rio San Juan?

visit laguna gri gri; go with one of the boats out on a short tour of the coastline, waterside caves, and swim when they stop at a couple of small beaches along the way

golf at playa grande country club

swim, surf, sun bathe, or eat lunch at playa grande

I find it a little bleak..... very good service at the Texaco and the car wash is the best I've found.

Senor Fermin, at the main corner, has a pretty good wine selection.

Thats it ..... IMO

Take a dip in the spring who comes up in Laguna Gri Gri.

After swim take lunch across the road from the lagune in Le Petit Bistro de Paris, very nice, good service and descent food, not cheap though but very relaxing to sit and watch people come by and see boats go off and come back.

Playa Caleton

Go to this beach and see Anthony, he will serve you fresh fish and lobster at a good price. Tell him I sent you, Ricardo. The beach is five minutes past R.S,J. You can take a concho there.

Yes, the food is good there and the beach nice, but very different from P Caleton. Playa Grande is a large common looking beach and PC is a quiet inlet. It is up to your taste which is better. I prefer P Caleton, as it is very private. Just don't go on the weekend though, as it is far from quiet. Weekdays only.

Agree... weekdays only

Yes, its a nice little lagoon.. not many waves, if any - if I recall

Truthfully, I go to no beaches on the weekends - especially Sunday
There are buses at PC on the weekend

I am en route from Cabarete to Rio San Juan so you could always drop by and visit me...can't offer a relaxing beach but there are fields, animals and the river!

yes

and watch the broken glass while you do it.
I was there for about 25 minutes and was on constant alert, which made it less enjoyable. I hope since then someone has done something about the mess...Ken maybe you can give us a report.

Hi, MaineGirl, haven't read anything in this thread that stimulates me to go there, at least not to the beach in your photo.
