I've been rented from Santos several times over the past 5 years and he never fails. He'll bring you a road, MTB or TT bike anywhere on the island! I was in Rincon last week, Guanica last year, San Juan before that. The riding in PR is fantastic too so don't be afraid to get out and see the island.

Hector was an amazing guide. He took us on a wonderful excursion of a coral reef that was easily reached from the beach. After seeing a ton of wildlife on the reef, he allowed us to use his equipment to try to see sea turtles in another area. Highly recommended!
7. Carolina Beach
Overall Ratings

Balneario Carolina is long stretch of white sand just east of the Isla Verde area in San Juan. It has a parking lot, restrooms, and showers. There's a kiddie water park at the eastern end of the beach.

Lots of parking ($5), restrooms, showers, shade trees, security, lifeguards. Mostly clean (people are pigs). Beautiful, clear blue water. I was surprised to see only one food stand open, but better than nothing, I guess! We went to only one other beach (Pine Grove), which was fine, but this one was better. It's a big beach, so there may have been a lot of people, but it definitely didn't feel crowded.

I made the 3pm reservation same day in the morning for 3 people. We got there early so we went to the Mojito bar that’s located on the premises and on top of amazing mojitos, the bartender was great and super funny. The owner of the atv tours walked by a few times to make sure we were doing okay while waiting. There was another group that showed up on a bus and still had to sign their waivers so the owner told us to go ahead without them because they were going to be a while, then walked us over to our tour guide, Amir, I think was his name. answered all our questions, helpful and social. Even took this picture for us with this great background. Overall, for the price, you get more than what you pay for in this case. Two hour experience well worth it. Highly recommend.
9. Museo del Nino

Children's museum filled with interactive, hands-on, passive-learning activities. Complete with a volcano that "erupts" every once in a while, and a real jet that is open for "behind the scenes" tours.

We took our granddaughter and had a wonderful experience. This is a truly outstanding children's museum. What is more, the two 76 year olds thoroughly enjoyed it as well. Fantastic interactive exhibits, great cruise through the mangroves, friendly helpful staff. I have been to many children's museums world wide and this is among the top. You need a whole day to do it justice.

It was easy for me to get involved with the tennis community while temporarily working in Puerto Rico. The tennis pro assessed my level and invited me to attend twice-weekly drills. From there, I have been invited to join Friday night tennis match play. It's great.
