Top Rated Scuba Diving on the East Coast of Puerto Rico

Las Cabezas de San Juan Nature Reserve

Las Cabezas de San Juan is a wonderful place to observe a number of ecosystems.  The nature reserve is comprised of 434 acres preserved by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico; it is made up of mangroves, the bioluminescent lagoon of Laguna Grande, the historic lighthouse Faro De Las Cabezas De San Juan, a dry forest, and Playa Lirios, a beautiful rocky beach lined by a reef.  At the top of the lighthouse, you’ll enjoy magnificent views of the northeastern tip of Puerto Rico.  Reserve the thematic tour in advance by calling the Conservation Trust at 787-722-5834 / weekends 787-860-2560.  A suggested itinerary is to tour the reserve in the afternoon, have dinner, and then head to a tour of Laguna Grande in the evening.

Palomino Island

Beautiful private island with white sand right across from Palominitos, where a scene from Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed.  Palomino Island is a great day trip offered by smaller more private boat charters giving guests a more exclusive feel.  Once in Palomino, you can enjoy the island pleasures of the Caribbean sea by swimming in turquoise waters and exploring the coral reefs underneath.

Balneario La Monserrate (Luquillo Beach)

Luquillo Beach formally named Balneario La Monserrate is a gorgeous mile-long crescent bay in the municipality of Luquillo.   Balneario Monserrate has been for years a rival to Balneario of Boqueron in Cabo Rojo.  Luquillo beach is loved by families for its facilities but be prepared to face crowds in the summers, weekends, and holidays.  Hundreds of palm trees and the mountains of El Yunque serve as a background.  The beach is a crescent shape with calm waters perfect for swimming. This beach is managed and maintained by Parques Nacionales offering lifeguards, picnic tables and gazebos, restrooms, parking, and wheelchair access. Some of the best tours offer a combination of El Yunque National Rainforest all morning and Luquillo Beach in the afternoon.

Playa La Posita / Playa Rocosa De Piñones

For those staying in the San Juan / Isla Verde tourist area, Las Positas aka La Posita Beach is one of the best beaches near the city for those wishing to have a more secluded beach experience, just minutes away.  Also known as Playa Rocosa (rocky beach), for its natural rock wall running along the length of the beach creating a long wide natural pool.  The waters are clear and shallow, perfect for swimming, and small children.  We prefer to enjoy this beach on weekdays from September – mid-March when it’s practically empty.  Las Positas gets pretty full during summer days, this beach is loved by locals with small children.  Parking is free and convenient across the street.  You can also get here by bike, and keep riding along the wood boardwalk along the coast, along the way.  Be sure to stop at food kiosks for inexpensive traditional Puerto Rican food.

Balneario Seven Seas – Fajardo, Puerto Rico

Seven Seas is the best and most popular swimming beach in Fajardo, but bring everything you will need, drinks, food, etc.  Nearby there are kiosks along the road selling traditional Puerto Rican fritters where you can take a break to eat or take it with you to the beach.   This beach is managed by the Parques Nacionales offering lifeguards, gazebos, camping, wheelchair access, and parking, however, management has been very poor and it is not in the best conditions, the beach however is beautiful and quiet during the week, weekends it gets busier with a local crowd.

Punta Tuna Beach, Maunabo

A dreamy place, one of the quietest beaches on the island. Punta Tuna is a great beach for long walks on holding hands with your loved one.  Punta Tuna Beach is a protected nature reserve where you won’t see any buildings along the shore.  You can feel the embrace of nature’s beauty as you walk along a lush line of tall palm trees and listen to the Caribbean Sea waves…

+ Punta Tuna Beach & Nature Reserve

Flying Here – The best and most convenient option is flying to the San Juan Airport, offering the most daily flight and choice of airlines (about 45 minutes away).

Driving from San Juan – Driving to the east coast hotels and attractions is easy. There are major highways from San Juan to the east. Google Maps App on your phone has pretty good directions. During traffic, we suggest you give yourself at least 30 minutes extra to get to places.

Places to visit with Puerto Rico

If you’re one of those people who wouldn’t want to miss the ocean view, you’re in luck; thanks to the terraced layout of the town even the properties farther away from the beach have rooms facing the ocean. If you’re looking to splurge, consider staying at one of the all-inclusive hotels close to the beach. Travelers looking for a self-catering break can rent a fully furnished apartment in one of the town’s central streets, where you can have easy access to shops and eateries.
