Looking for that perfect spot in the sun? Look no further than Puerto Rico, this small but incredibly generous country of the Caribbean, which has almost three hundred beaches to choose from! Around almost every turn of its coastline you’re going to find a stretch of sands you’ll fall in love with, and a slightly different experience waiting for you at each one.

If it’s a bit of excitement you’re after, Tres Palmas Beach at the north of the island is one its best spots for a bit of surfing, or windsurfing – joined by others such as Los Tubos, Aviones and Jobos. The waves you’ll find in this area are incredible, but the surrounding scenery is no less impressive.

And you’ll find that same scenery pretty much anywhere you go, especially around those beaches where you can find a little more seclusion. Las Paldas, close to Guánica in the south, is a great choice for this. And El Convento Beach, not too far away from Fajardo, is ideal in this respect too – but also there’s a great opportunity here to get close to the local sea turtles.

And there’s many other beaches which present you with perfect conditions for a bit of snorkelling, including Blue Hole Beach in the west and Playa Azul in the east. But for the very best of marine life amongst stunning reefs, a visit to either of Puerto’s neighbouring smaller islands, Vieques and Culebra, is a must – with dozens more stunning beaches in these places alone.
