Beaches in San Juan

One of the best beaches in the area is the Isla Verde Beach Area, a brilliantly clean stretch with a number of luxury condos and restaurants in the vicinity.

Condado beach is one of the other great parts of coastline and provides clean sands and gentle waves for swimming and sunbathing.

And Ocean Park beach is simply beautiful and perhaps a touch more popular than Condado beach – best for taking a moonlit cocktail to the sounds of the ocean lapping the beach.

San Juan Activities

El Yunque Rainforest is one of the must-see attractions on your break to San Juan, a natural reserve abundant with truly unique flora and fauna.

Then there’s El Moro Fort, one of the more striking historical landmarks in the area, perfect for a day out and a picnic under its facades.

Located in San Juan’s Old Square, there’s the Plaza de Armas, with its four statues representing the four seasons, and provides a beautiful meeting point for the denizens of the town.

San Juan Nightlife

A great place to dance the night away is the Plaza del Mercado, which, during the day is a fresh produce market, but at night turns into a lively hub.

The Condado area of San Juan packs the biggest punch when it comes to dining out—and is really worth bearing in mind.

Why not take a trip to La Perla Barrio, one of the more socially interesting neighbourhoods nearby, made famous by Oscar Lewis’s ‘La Vida: A Puerto Rican family in the Culture of Poverty’.
