SURF ESCAPES FROM SAN JUAN
If the west coast's waves are too big, or if its dudes are too cool or the drive is too
far, there are a number of lesser-known options for surfers who want to make a quick
day trip from San Juan. Along the north coast there are a few decent breaks for ex-
pert surfers around Manatí (

) and those with less experience can enjoy the
shallow-water thrills of boogie boarding. There are even reasonable surfing lessons
to be had in the capital, San Juan (

). Die hards will take what they can get
at Balneario Escambrón in Puerta de Tierra (

), while the best stuff can be
found over in Piñones at Los Aviónes. East of San Juan, the best place to surf barrels
is at La Pared in Luquillo (

La Selva (
