You might want to check Isla Verde area - the beach here is not white Caribbean sand that you mention, more like Miami Beach. If you want the white sand beached you would need to take a trip over to Culebra Island for Flamenco Beach (always seems yo make top 10 list of beaches around the world) or Vieques Island. You can do a day trip by taking the ferry over to Culebra from Fajardo, but you would need to have transport to get you to Fajardo (no bus service). Another option would be to see if there is a daytrip sail from Fajardo over to the islands - these tours usually include transport from the San Juan area. Hope that helps If you are staying in Old San Juan then you will need to take a taxi or bus (but buses are very slow and not ideal) to either Condado area or Isla Verde.

I'm wondering about which beach to go to. I heard about white sand beaches. Are they far from Old San Juan. Would a taxi get us there? Could we get a taxi back? Thanks. You site is great!

My Aunt is a professor at the College and has been for 35 years so in those 10 years of visiting i've seen so much and there's so much more to see. I can't say enough about the people that live in Rincon They are so friendly. I'm against commercialized places and Rincon is so laid back that IT'S THE SPOT to be. I took my 15 year old Twins there for the first time in 2009 and I did not feel like I had to watch over them so close. VERY SAFE There are atleast 5 beaches to snorkle, swim and sun bathe Easy to drive around , the plces to stay are nice and cheap too, Stay at a local cottage and get the real feeling of Puert Rico living without the worry. Want more opinion from me ema il me jilldoe420@yahoo.com I have another trip planned for April can't wait to go I have been traveling there for 10 days every January for 10 years now.

Especially the part about the horns. I never understood why people feel the need to lay on their car horns. Most of what you said could also describe NYC. Especially the part about the horns.

It's like the left lanes were reserved for slower cars in PR. LOL! Forget about the turn signals; what about the drivers just drifting in and out of lanes and ALWAYS passing on the right?

I just told some friends from Brazil about #1-- they couldn't believe it, but I assured them that the dozens of times I've landed at SJU, the clapping has ALWAYS occurred. Always. Ha!
