Puerto Rico has more than 300 miles/480 kilometers of coastline, and there are several public beaches on the island. The Condado Beach in San Juan is extremely popular for watching and catching up on the latest trends in swimwear. The beach at Isla Verde is another great beach to visit.
If surfing is what you're looking for, the beaches along most of the west coast - particularly around Rincon - are known for their great waves.
All public beaches are closed on Mondays. For more information about public beaches, contact the island's Department of Recreation and Sports at 787-722-1551.
