Illinoisvacationeer Posted July 18, 2007 #8 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Would you be able to walk there? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubber Posted July 19, 2007 #9 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Click on my link below and you'll understand the distance from the pier to Escambron beach. Its about 2.5 miles. Escambron is five minutes by cab and is the closest beach to the OSJ Piers. However, a 15-20 minute cab ride will get you to the Isla Verde beach which is much nicer.

crissyp Posted July 19, 2007 #10 Share Posted July 19, 2007 We're just back, Isla Verde Beach is where we went and loved it. Our driver told us not to go to the one near the dock. Isle Verde beach is beautiful, the only draw back was no restrooms, but the bar/restaurant right at the entrance was very accomodating and was letting everyone use the restrooms there.

dspreng Posted July 21, 2007 #11 Share Posted July 21, 2007 Do you think we have enough time to walk through old san juan for a couple of hours, then take a taxi to Isla Verde and enjoy the beach for a few hours, then get back to the ship by 4pm for an excursion? How long does it take to get off the ship if it says we are there at 10am? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deezee Posted July 25, 2007 #13 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Just got off Crown Princess. I would not recommend beaches anywhere near the dock, the water was very dirty. I talked to other passengers that went to nearby beaches, they said they were terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
