Guidebook For Luquillo/Surrounding Areas
Sightseeing
Walk a few steps from the condo and...you made it!
Playa Azul is perfect for catching the sunrise or hanging out during the day.
It becomes very lively on Saturday's and Sunday's and locals + travelers alike come to soak up the sun and ocean breeze.
If you walk down Playa Azul to the north, you will run into Playa Bandera and if you walk south, you will reach La Pared beach.
The waves can get very choppy so please take caution when swimming and do not swim if you are not a confident swimmer.

This beach is very shallow and tranquil. You can take your beach chair and put it in the water and sit comfortably. If you continue walking north you will reach Luquillo Beach.

Ferry to Culebra or Vieques islands. There is a parking lot for you to leave your car and a shuttle takes you to the ferry terminal. Be sure to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure (trust me, I have missed the ferry on more than one occasion).
Both are perfect for a day trip. $5 roundtrip. Check for tickets ahead of time online. (Ask me for the website and I will send you the link, Airbnb does not allow for links to be sent).

El Yunque is magical. I definitely recommend fitting in a trip to El Yunque if you can. It is only -17 minutes away by car and even the ride there through the rainforest is breathtaking.

Knowledgable tour guides and a cool experience. You have to show up once it's dark and it's ~ one hour of kayaking to the bay and another back so be sure you have energy

Amazing live music most nights and delicious typical puerto rican dishes. Once the music starts playing you won't really be able to have a conversation with your table...but who needs to talk when you have a mouthful of delicious food and you're moving along to the music, am I right?
