IntroductionDuring the cold New York winter, I desperately craved for warmth. So I thought, what better way to find the sun than to travel elsewhere? I've always wanted to visit Puerto Rico, so I thought this would be the perfect chance to take an impromptu trip.
I'm glad that I visited because I thought PR was a cross between Waikiki in Honolulu and Miami. The beaches are in close proximity, and the flight isn't too far from NYC. It was nice and sunny, and even though I was only there for 2 days I definitely would recommend as a quick getaway and would come back again! I wanted to do more but didn't get the chance. Uber is relatively affordable in San Juan, but there is also a robust bus system. I did find the buses to be somewhat unreliable, since the buses didn't come at the exact time shown on Google Maps. As of Feb 2025, the buses were actually free to use (I think it's because they are overhauling their payment system, as I saw on a website). It's usually $0.75 so I kept some quarters on me, just in case. If you're going elsewhere on the island, I would recommend renting a car since it didn't seem like San Juan was walkable besides the area near the beach and the old town. However, I'll be back soon!

I would recommend all the beaches, but I liked Isla Verde Beach the most. It had more of a local feel and was further away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Old San Juan All of these places are walkable within a 30min radius of each other.
