Best Regions For Kids
San Juan
Young travelers will be thrilled by San Juan's vibrant culture, wide beaches and kid-
friendly museums. San Juan's historic sights have a lot of diversions for kids, and the tun-
nels and turrets of El Morro and Fuerte San Cristóbal capture young imaginations with
stories of pirates and seafaring adventure.
Culebra & Vieques
Snorkeling and swimming in the clear, calm waters is excellent for kids, and the islands
host vacation rentals and short-term apartment rentals, which can be an affordable option
for families.
El Yunque & East Coast
Rainforests and frogs, drippy palms and mountain lookouts - the easy hikes of the El
Yunque rainforest are thrilling for young explorers. The bioluminescent waters of Fajardo
are also magical.
West Coast
The west coast has excellent surfing and boogie boarding, with waves big enough or small
enough to match your ability. It also gives parents a chance to get off the beaten path.
With so many of the comforts of home and lots of all-ages outdoor adventures, Puerto Rico
is an excellent destination for travelers with children. The options for family activities on
the island are extensive and happen mostly outdoors; kids and adults find equal pleasure in
exploring the waters with a snorkel and fins, the caves with a flashlight or the rainforest with
a pair of binoculars.
