Enjoy the sandy beach and sparkling waters on the North shore of Puerto Rico

I took my first cruise earlier this year and Puerto Rico was one of the stops. This beautiful beach is only a 33 minute walk from the cruise terminal and you’ll get to see a decent amount of Puerto Rico on the walk. Check out the murals across the street too!

At the beach

You are able to snorkel and the reef makes it easily swimmable. The views are great too; to the west you can see the Capitol Dome and El Morro Fort. There are plenty of trees for shade. Additionally, there are bathrooms and parking ($) available.

-Location: Avenida Munoz Rivera, just west of the Normandie Hotel

Stroll through Old San Juan

*Puerto Rico’s history is very interesting. Exploring Old San Juan is fun, informative, and full of culture. *There are unlimited options for food in Old San Juan, I recommend trying Mofongo, which is made from a plantain. Find a rooftop bar to take it all in (and maybe have a mojito or two!). *Take pictures of the buildings and streets. It’s hard to find colors like this anywhere else in A...

Explore Castillo San Felipe del Morro

This is an awesome place to check out if spending some time near San Juan. This castle is located on the far side of Old San Juan, offering awesome views of the ocean and surrounding areas. It costs $7 USD (for adults) to enter, and can be paid at the main entrance when you arrive. This also acts as a pass to other local castles operated by the National Parks Service (keep your receipt for pro...

Surf Aviones

This is a reef break in San Juan Puerto Rico. This is probably the most consistent wave on the entire island of Puerto Rico! It's a very popular summer time spot for surf, as waves become unmanageable when the large NW swells come through. This wave offers both lefts and rights. I would recommend this spot for the more experienced surfer, since the wave isn’t the most forgiving and there is a...

Hike Through the El Yunque Rain Forest

Hiking the El Yunque Trail is a 5 mile round trip, about 3 to 4 hours in duration, with a moderate to difficult skill level. In parts, the paved path is well-maintained, and in others, you'll need to navigate very wet, muddy terrain. The trail takes you up up through the Palo Colorado Forest, to the Palma Sierra, and finally the Dwarf Forest. Be sure to take note of your path as certain areas o...

Explore Juan Diego Falls

Juan Diego Falls are a pair of waterfalls that can be accessed by an incredibly short and ignored trail when passing through El Yunque.When driving up the mountain (heading southwest on 191) the trail entrance can be found behind a road barrier on the right hand side of the road at approximately KM 9.8. This is at a corner between Yokahú Tower and Big Tree Trail's parking areas. There are ma...

Cañon San Cristobal

The hike from one end of Cañon San Cristobal to the other is arguably the most epic in Puerto Rico. Descend a thousand feet into a turquoise swimming hole, climb up a waterfall and find yourself in a valley so perfect it doesn't seem real. Climb up another waterfall, hike about a mile and you'll come to 'La Niebla': the largest waterfall on the island, 300 feet of water cascading down the side ...
