The location provides quick and easy access to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico, El Yunque Rainforest, and boat tours and water activities based out of Fajardo.  There are many things to do in the surrounding areas; here are some of our favorites:



Chill at the beach! There is a sandy beach 5 minute walking distance from the apartment.

 

Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants in the Caribbean beachfront restaurant strip. One of our favorites is "La Parrilla".



Take a surfing lesson right at La Pared Beach. There are multiple surf schools located on this beach and it is a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.  



Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 10-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.



Spend a day in Old San Juan. A Drop of The Sea is a 45 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There's a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.
