Luquillo Beach ended up being 1 of my fave beaches in PR!I loved how calm & crystal clear the water was! It was perfect for just getting in, floating around, & enjoying the day w/o worrying about big waves. The soft golden sand made it easy to kick back, relax, & soak in the sun. B/c the sand is a rich golden beige color rather than a stark white, it absorbs heat quickly under the tropical sun. Walking down to the shoreline from the palm trees during midday can easily burn bare feet, so bring flip-flops or water shoes!
1 of my fave things was all the colorful artwork around the area. I found myself stopping over & over b/c there were so many fun murals & unique spots to take pictures. If you're anything like me & love a good photo op, you'll have a blast here!
There's beach vendors regularly walking by selling helados (pr ice cream), snacks, drinks so you never had to leave your spot if you wanted something refreshing. Some of the vendors also sell homemade jewelry for a low price.
I walked over to the famous kiosks right along the beach.There are tons of food options, whether you're craving authentic PR dishes, fresh seafood, fried snacks, tropical drinks, frozen coconuts,or something sweet. I loved being able to grab something to eat & drink & head right back to the beach.
I spent the whole day @ Luquillo Beach. Between the beautiful water, relaxing atmosphere,& all the vibrant art, it was a place I know I'll visit again the next time I'm in PR! read more
