Welcome to Luquillo — your base for adventure, beach days, and discovering the real Puerto Rico. This guide covers the essentials for staying safe, finding food, exploring nature, and soaking in everything the town and surrounding areas have to offer.
First things first: if you’re hungry or thirsty, check out our curated list of Restaurants & Bars. These are all walkable from the apartment and range from local hangouts like El Flamboyán to beachside music venues like Board Riders.
Before hitting the ocean, please review our Beach Guide. Playa Azul is beautiful but can have powerful rip currents — the local flag system helps keep you safe, and we’ve included calm-water alternatives like Luquillo Beach at Los Kioskos.
Need to stock the kitchen or grab essentials? Our Grocery & Essentials Guide has you covered — from the bodega next door to the best supermarkets in Fajardo. You’ll also find info on gas, pharmacies, and emergency help.
If you’re itching to explore, you’re in the right place. The El Yunque Rainforest offers hikes, waterfalls, and natural swimming holes like Las Paylas and Angelito. For farther adventures, our Day Trips guide features options like Vieques, Icacos, and the Lechonera Highway.
Finally, don’t miss out on the capital. San Juan is just an hour away and packed with history, culture, nightlife, and stunning architecture — from Old San Juan and El Morro to beach clubs and craft cocktails.
This is more than a vacation — it’s your chance to live like a local. Let’s get started.
