Best Beach in San Juan

[dawn Feb 2]

Can anyone let me know a good beach in San Juan - preferably with waves? I'd prefer a beach that is maintained by a hotel that offers day passes (not for a room, just to use the beach).

 

Thanks!

If you just want to use the beach and don't have a car, then skip the day pass. The hotels on the beach do do not own their beachfront. They are all public spaces in Puerto Rico. They are well maintained, but open for all. The Mariott Courtyard and the Ritz Carlton are also good areas.

Thanks for the info!

are rest rooms available and snack bars/restaurants if your just using their beachs for the day...What about chair rentals??

beaches in Puerto Rico are public. Near to San juan is Escambron, Condado Beach and you also can go to Isla Verde or San Juan Balneary.

Does Escambron beach have facilities or chairs for rent? Thanks

anywhere from 15 minutes to 45 minutes depending on the time of day/traffic. The Ritz is in Isla Verde which is right next to the Airport. It's a great area to stay & play in pre/post cruise.

Hello,

 

Do you know when the better time of day is for the least traffic to get from the Ritz to the pier on a Saturday? Also, do you know an approximate of the cab fare to get from the Ritz to the pier for 2 persons?

 

Thanks much,

It appeared to me that Sunday's were busier than Saturday's traffic wise, but I'd allow 30 minutes minimum. Also, I'd budget $20 or so for a cab depending on the number of bags you've got- they charge .50 cents- $1 per bag in addition to cab fare.

gary...sorry, made a mistake with my ports:o can anyone recommend a hotel that is close to pier 4. We will be on the Crown Princess and docked in Old San Jaun from 10 am until 11 pm. Would love to do half of that time on the beach, and then the other half checking out Old San Juan. This will be our first time visiting Puerto Rico. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

 

thanks,

From Cruise ship dock to Ritz Hotel is 30 minutes by city bus (75 cent). 15 minutes by Taxi without traffic ($17). Bus terminal is one block from the ship terminal and will stop one block west of Ritz hotel outside Hampton Inn in isla verde.
