2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveler
The water is cloudy/muddy. Very crowded, Trash all over the beach. Harassed constantly by vendors selling tours, bracelets, massages, jewelery.

3/5 - Okay
Verified traveler
Boca grande beach is not really very aesthetically pleasing (think orchard beach in the Bronx). Locals do go there, but I wouldn't recommend for tourists; the water isn't clear or blue and the sand isn't white. Also there are A LOT of people here trying to sell you things CONSTANTLY so not the best place to enjoy a relaxing at the beach.
4/5 - Good

The beach is lovely but there are so many people there selling things, it kind of takes away from the experience.
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
it was good, but vendors on the beach were getting annoying trying to sell something. Even tho you were telling them NO, they will continue pushing their services. Other than that, beach was clean and relaxing.
1/5 - Terrible
Verified traveler
Did not bother to take a picture of such a basic and very ugly beach
