Introduction: A Guide to Snorkeling and the Beaches of Puerto Rico


Puerto Rico is a familiar Tropical Island that has the best public beach system in the Caribbean.   These public beaches all though not tourist destinations have some world class snorkeling not generally known to the rest of the world.   Puerto Rican beaches not frequently visited by other than Puerto Rican locals can provide a very rich, one of a kind local experience to any adventurous traveler.   They also provide a great chance to interact with the local population, get some sun, on top of getting in some great snorkeling.

Publicly designated park beaches in Puerto Rico are safe and well policed.  Saturday and Sunday are the most crowded beach days.   Sunday is family day; in Puerto Rico this usually means a trip to the beach and barbeque.    A trip during the week could mean that you have a beach almost to yourself.   Almost all the beaches have local food kiosks which will be inexpensive and will give you a great taste of Puerto Rico.  

Puerto Rico Spanish for “Rich Port” is a large Island, about the size and shape of Connecticut.  With over 280 officially recognized beaches and with a land mass 3,515 square miles there is a lot to explore.   Beware this is not an all-inclusive guide.  It is only designed to give you a little taste of this tropical paradise.
