Condado Beach

If you're staying in San Juan and want to stretch your legs on the beaches, Condado Beach is the place to go. For many sunbathers, this is completely reasonable. Condado is surrounded by high-rise hotels and resort complexes, as well as being the center of water sports and beach bars. Families, on the other hand, sometimes forego these sands in favor of one of the government-run beaches, or balnearios, because the tide at Condado beach is often too strong for young swimmers.

You'll find the typical array of paid water sports here, as well as restaurants along the beach and in the surrounding area if you become hungry. According to previous visitors, you won't be disappointed with Condado, as long as you keep in mind that it's not a remote stretch of sand, but rather a beach that lies near a bustling metropolis.
