[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally loved Luquillo beach (near the great food kioskos), Isla Icacos (off the coast of Fajardo), and Playa Escambron (near San Juan).  All three had beautiful and calm waters.  Playa Escambron is the easiest to get to from San Juan and has a protected inlet that is like swimming in a lake.  I went in April and saw lots of sea turtles snorkeling there.  Some of the turtles were so close to the shore, you could see them without even having to swim out.  Apparently I was lucky though because a coworker of mine went the very next week with his family and didn't see a single turtle.  Guess you have to be looking in the right spots :-)  Isla Icacos is also super calm and the most beautiful water I've ever seen in my life (comparing to places like south Florida and Hawaii).  It's like swimming in a pool.  However, there are no facilities on the island, which you have to reach by boat/water taxi, and I recommend wetsuits to protect from sunburn and an umbrella if you have one as there are none to rent there and no natural shade.

Did you take any pictures of the snorkeling turtles?[/quote]
