Day 24
What is Luquillo Beach like?
More than a mile long and shaded with coconut trees,
Luquillo Beach
is a beautiful place to sunbathe and enjoy the ocean. The beach is framed by the verdant
El Yunque National Rainforest
and lined with coconut palms. A highlight is the famous Luquillo food kiosks where vendors sell traditional Puerto Rican fritters like
alcapurrias
and locally-caught seafood.
Luquillo Beach is a
Blue Flag Beach, which means it's held to the highest standards for cleanliness and safety.
