    Big island of Puerto Rico has over 350 beaches, not mentioning its other islands, 198 cays and attols many with numerous white sand beaches....totaling over 7,000 square miles. Just the big island alone has 1,900 square miles of lakes, which is more than the size of Long Island, N.Y. (1,400 Square miles). Puerto Rico is a true paradise archipelago. It's 78 cities are beautiful.

      I have paid up to $3 $5 or more, it depends on the cup size.
      That is why I always ask the how much? question, BEFORE purchasing anything anywhere I go, especially if there is no price list. But it did include an entire🍍 friuts, ice, plastic cup straw and a smile🤣

    The Condado area of San Juan is Not where anyone should visit with the only exception people arriving in cruise lines due to limited time of departure.There are numerous of place/town that you can visit like Isabela free live salsa concert every Saturday nights.A place that is called Guavate for the freshly prepare roasted pork and morcillas(Blood pudding) other interest may be Luquillo due the amazing beach,Farjado in the west coast of Puerto Rico.

    Although the beach looks beautiful and enticing, is one of the most dangerous beaches on the island due rip tide currents that can be at times challenging for even experienced swimmers. Not long ago, a kid who just got off the plane, and a first timer on the island jumped in and unfortunately drowned. Just be aware. Thanks for sharing.

    That beach is dangerous.You can go tp the first you visit in this video or take the bus or Uber to go to Isla Verde that is the best of the area.If you want bathrooms and beverages you can go to the private one near hotels in Isla Verde.But if you have a dream to visit those like pools,in the east coast you can take a taxi boat or catamaran to Icacos and a big boat to Culebra and go to Flamenco beach.One of the best.Both Icacos or Flamenco are pools.There some many more.Condado,remember that so many tourists die there frecuently.The currents are dangerous.

    I've been visiting PR for nearly 50 years, including month long stays. (I own a Condo in Luquillo) My family owned three at one time, including one on Ashford Ave. near where you recorded this video. Over the years we've seen many drownings, typically involving people unfamiliar with the area's rip currents. People explore past the breakers, get caught in the rip current; then they panic, fight the current, and disaster follows. The beaches can be seductive - they're a gentile Puerto Rican lover that demands respect. To truly enjoy PR, you must experience it on its own terms.

      @@sir.fuentes7642 The statement I make about Puerto Rico and its infrastructure for tourism is based on basic principles. 1. How easy is it to navigate a place? I found myself driving the island from end to end in a rental car. Metro transportation or travel guides were either not present or unavailable. 2. Diversity and Availability of activities. I had multiple fails booking the activities I was most interested in. Water Taxis to Culebra Island were completely booked for weeks and were unavailable. Traveling there by plane was equally inaccesible. These excursions must be booked weeks before arrival on the island. The companies that rent sailboats or do snorkeling tours had similar lack of availability. Despite having a local pulling all the strings and reaching out to multiple contacts, nothing. 3. Opportunities to explore culture and history. Puerto Rico has been colonized for a long time and it is evident. The majority of the restaurants are popular US chain restaurants. Outside of the museums or historic sites, there wasn't a distinctive feel of being away from the mainland. MARCH 2022
