Jobos Beach or Playa Jobos is a beach facing the Atlantic Ocean located on the PR-466 street of Isabela in the northwest of Puerto Rico.[1] While popular, the beach is dangerous and signs warning tourists of dangerous currents were installed in early 2021.[2]
Jobos Beach is known as a world-class surf spot[3][4] and a good place to party.[5] In February 2013, the beach hosted the Rip Curl Pro, a world tour surfing competition.[6] Jobos is also a popular beach for windsurfing.[7] Nearby, also in Isabela, is Pozo de Jacinto, a pit cave steeped in folklore.[8]
The area near Jobos Beach suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Maria on September 20, 2017.[9] The Tito Puente Amphitheatre reopened in mid-December 2017 with a concert by Circo, and other artists with Corona Fest x Nuestra Playas (Corona Fest for our Beaches) to raise funds for the clean-up at Jobos and other beaches in the area.[10]
