[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly if your kid loves to swim, there are much better places to visit than PR,

Bahamas and St John have beautiful safe swimming beaches.[/quote]

Not true. People have drowned in the Bahamas and St. John, USVI. You need to pay attention anywhere you going, especially in wintertime. During the summer, the beaches are calmer.

Some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico are, Seven Seas, Luquillo, Isla Verde, OceanPark, Dorado Beach at the Ritz Carlton Reserve, Playa Combate, Playa Sucia, Boquerón Beach, Playa Flamenco in Culebra…and many more…[/quote]

What I said was true, there are safer and better places to visit if OP is seeking swimmable beaches for children, and both St John and the Bahamas have way better, way safer and far prettier beaches than anything you’ll find in PR.[/quote]

I’m a native of Puerto Rico. Your statement about not having pretty beaches is not informed. We have close to 300 beaches, which include white sand, black sand, beige, etc. and with different backdrops and locations. Some
Are picture postcard beaches (heck Sports Illustrated just did a spread on one of our gorgeous beaches with various supermodels). I’ve been to almost all of PR’s beaches at some point during my lifetime. Pretty beaches? We’ve got ‘em.

You are kidding yourself if you think the Bahamas and St. John’s are safer. Anywhere you go, especially in the wintertime, on any island in the Atlantic, is a time to read the beach reports, ask the locals, and be cautious. No one wants you or your family to drown. Keep your false sense of security in check.[/quote]
