Beaches

Ocean Park

Beach with the closest proximity to Old San Juan, stretches along the coast of Condado. Surrounded by some of the most popular restaurants and bars, this beach is a great spot if you don’t want to venture out too far (although we definitely recommend you do!)
Mar Chiquita

Mar Chiquita is one of the most popular natural pools in the north coast. The place is ideal for swimming and soaking in the sun, but there isn’t much shade, so come prepared.
There are some food trucks and stands during the weekends where you can find authentic Puerto Rican fritters and refreshing drinks.
Poza del Obispo

This small beach is located right next to Arecibo's beautiful lighthouse. La Poza del Obispo is protected by rock formations, which form a shallow area that's perfect for swimming
Crash Boat

Crash Boat beach is one of the most popular beaches in Puerto Rico's west coast and Aguadilla's crowning gem. Its turquoise waters make this beginner diving spot ideal for snorkeling, swimming, and even surfing during the summer. Crash Boat’s vibrant scene has dubbed it the island’s party beach, where you can hear music, and hop around the kiosks and food stands that are lined up around the pier.

Things to do

Castillo San Felipe del Morro

A representative landmark of Puerto Rico’s colonial legacy, the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, is an impressive citadel that sits at the very top of Old San Juan. Its construction began in 1539 and concluded around 1790; during those 250 years, the castle became a six-level fortress designed to protect the island from attackers approaching by sea.
Casa Bacardí

The world’s largest premium rum distillery, offering a selection of immersive experiences
Bioluminicent Bay

Of five bioluminescent bays in the world, three are in Puerto Rico, where microscopic organisms light up the water with a soft blue glow when disturbed. Kayaking through these bays at night feels like gliding through stardust, as each paddle stroke sparkles against the dark water. It’s a truly unforgettable natural phenomenon and one of the island’s most magical experiences.
El Yunque

El Yunque is the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System but it is also a sacred place in Puerto Rican culture. This national treasure is an excellent destination if you want to immerse yourself in nature
Castillo San Cristóbal

Built from 1634 until 1765, for centuries the Castillo San Cristóbal has been standing guard at the eastern gate of Old San Juan. The imposing fortress was built to guard the city from enemies approaching by land, serving as a counterpart to Castillo San Felipe del Morro. The citadel covers over 27 acres and is the largest one made by the Spaniards in the New World

Toro Verde Adventure Park is an iconic outdoor adventure destination set high in the lush mountains of central Puerto Rico. Home to The Monster, one of the longest and fastest zip lines in the world, it offers heart-pounding thrills paired with jaw-dropping views. It’s a place where adrenaline, nature, and unforgettable memories collide
