🏝️ First Time Itinerary🏝️ : Puerto Rico! 3-4 Days 

Puerto Rico has a special place in my heart, I traveled here as a child because my family loved it.  My Dad played professional baseball and had fond memories of having spring training here.  My Grandmother and her friends also vacationed here and would spend months out of the year here in a time share. 
We grew to love Puerto Rico as a family and I was just recently able to revisit and fell back in love!  

This 4 day itinerary can easily be tweaked to slow down or speed up the pace of your trip.  If you only have 2-3 days you can cherry pick your favorite bits, and if you have more time I will add some additional suggestions.  

This is a pretty action packed itinerary and uses Old San Juan as a base.  I will detail why I chose Old San Juan and what alternatives you have if this doesn't feel like the area you'd like to base in.  

This guide includes: 
-Practical information about Puerto Rico 
-4 FULL days of things to do, see, and where to eat
-Extra things I didn't get a chance to do
-A few other recommendations
-Personal insights from every spot and activity

4 day Puerto Rico Itinerary: Based in Old San Juan 

Balneario del Escambrón

This beach has calm waters and clean sand, and it's a popular spot for families and snorkelers due to the nearby coral reef. Located next to Luis Muñoz Rivera Park, the beach offers amenities and easy access from the city, Take a nice stroll along with beach and visit Old San Juan before or after.

This beach would be about a 30-40 minute walk from Old San Juan.  It is actually a beautiful walk and I used it as my morning run.  You could also uber very quickly and affordably.  This beach is a bit larger, a bit more beautiful, and more popular.  

Nice beach near VSJ! Can get supeerrr full though during peak season since it's near hotels. Get there early and save a spot if you plan on staying for awhile~ 

Easiest to get to and nicest in the area!
