Luquillo Offers Tranquil Beaches and Fine Accommodations
Luquillo Beach is one of Puerto Rico's most famous and most visited tourist attractions. The view from the beach is spectacular. It features a long gold crescent of sand lined by innumerable coconut palms with the hazy mountains of the rainforest soaring in the distance.
Luquillo Beach is so beautiful that it has become a national and international place of favor - with good reason. Luquillo's offshore reefs keep the waters calm and tranquil so that families can enjoy the water knowing that the lifeguards are on duty and that rough waters are far away.
Luquillo Beach also has plenty parking, changing and restrooms and has an abundance of souvenir and food stalls. Each stall seems to like its own unique style of tropical music which plays all day long. There are also many colorful kiosk-type shops, which sell everything from bathing costumes to ice-cream and ice-cold beer. Some of them have also transformed into small seaside restaurants where the menu may feature anything from local traditional seafood fritters to gourmet delights. The variety ensures that the tastes of even the most demanding connoisseurs are satisfied.
Together with all the action and entertainment offered, Luquillo has made time once a week for the "Sea Without Barriers" program to help visitors in wheelchairs to enjoy the cool waters with their friends and family.
Luquillo Beach has been visited by residents from San Juan for generations and people from all over the world come here to enjoy the tropical feeling that it offers. A vacation in Puerto Rico would not be complete without at least setting foot on the sands of Luquillo Beach.

Now now everyone, I'm visiting PR as I write. Staying in Fajardo, no impressive beach here (with sand and peace and cleanliness). There are beautiful areas, just not the beach that I expected. I have not given up though. Jen is probably referring to the part Luquillo which lies behind the kiosks. In that case her summation is not inaccurate (lets keep it real!). I understand that there is another section of the beach that is more like what Everyone one else has written about. I'm heading there now and looking forward to the experiences that Everyone else had. I so hope that you are right. PR is beautiful! Though NJ is not bad, it is not like NJ (at least I hope not).

I'm sorry Jen but I don't know what beach you're talking about but i know you're not talking about Luquillo beach. I've been to many beaches all over Puerto Rico and let me tell you that whenever i visit Luquillo beach, I feel like i'm in paradise. It's so beautiful, clean and the water is nice and warm and calm. You need to go back girl!!

Jen, sorry you had such a bad experience. Now it's three against one. I find almost all puerto rico beautiful, especially luquillo beach. From all the places i've visited in puerto rico, this is the most memorable. I am going again February of 2010. I've been to New Jersey too, man, how could you ever get to that comparison! Never! Anyways, Puerto Rico has plenty of tourism, they won't miss you!

i visit luquillo beach twice a year and find it great. it reminds me of cape may new jersey15 years ago. i think the water temperature is better than nj and the water more beautiful. the people are nice and in rio grande you can visit betz outlet mall for an american movie and american stores, also the island has all the fast food resturants and convenience stores same as the states. where else but luquillo can you rent a one bedroom apartment for $ 500 a week -one block from the beach. the area of luquillo hasthree beaches to choose from and i recomend playa azul beach outside of town at luquillo. stray dogs yes, but this is an island problem, islanders dont slaughter their animals in shelters. i recomend luquillo anytime but the best months are september thru april on weekdays. its affordable and a great place to get away.

this is a nasty depressing beach... stray dogs, garbage, cars on the beach with workers on their lunch break... NASTY. Dont waste your time... the first day of our vacation we came here and we were so depressed. Not only is the beach gross but the water is even nastier it looked like Jersey water!
