Best beaches on the island
Counting some of the best beaches in the world, Puerto Rico boasts more than 270 miles of stunning coastline with crystalline turquoise waters and glittery white sand. Not only the surroundings are as postcard-perfect as can be, but there are also as many activities as there are beaches, ensuring to keep you entertained at all time.
Whether you’re looking for a diamond in the rough or a glitzy resort atmosphere, a castaway experience or a local’s favourite, you can be sure that beautiful Puerto Rico has a sandy spot that ticks all your “ideal beach” boxes. And with great surfing conditions and miles of healthy reef to explore, looking for your little stretch of paradise can be an activity in itself. So grab a good book, your snorkel, and hop on the next boat to one of its stunning islands - it would be rude not to!
