Dinner, and beach sunset at Luquillo beach, then drinks at La Placita de Santurce. See below for a little info on both locations:
Luquillo Beach
Also known as Balneario La Monserrate, Luquillo Beach attracts travelers to its calm waters, gently sloping shores, and raft of watersports. The beach is framed by the verdant El Yunque National Rainforest and lined with coconut palms. A highlight here is the famous Luquillo food kiosks. Local vendors normally sell traditional Puerto Rican fritters like alcapurrias, locally-caught seafood, and inexpensive drinks made with a special ingredient: Puerto Rican rum. Facilities like showers and picnic areas can be found here too.
La Placita de Santurce
La Placita de Santurce is one of Puerto Rico’s nightlife hotspots, attracting both locals and travelers. The placita was originally set up as a market square for local produce, and if you visit during the day, you’ll find a number of colorful stalls and restaurants. However, when the sun goes down, out come the live music and partygoers. Head to one of the many bars for cocktails, and even join salsa dancing on the streets. When hungry, be sure to try out one of the placita’s delicious empanadillas.
