This is the Closest Beach to Casa Fryar, AKA: (Playa Isla Verde) is only a 5 minute car ride. It would be a beautiful walk to the beach if the airport wasn't blocking our path. The Beach entrance is located on Calle Jose M. Tartak. The street has limited free parking, but also has a low cost multi level parking deck behind CVS Pharmacy (See Photo) . Lined with beachfront hotels & Condominium highrises, this large sandy beach is a popular, scenic spot for swimming & watersports. ***It should be noted that this is a "public beach" which means its not managed by a municipality, so it has no hours of operation and, no bath facilities, so you'll have to buy a drink at one of the beachfront restaurants and hit the facilities there if needed.

Carolina Beach, also a public beach, AKA: (Balneário de Carolina) is only a 6-8 minute car ride from Casa Fryar. The term “public beach” may seem confusing to visitors since all beaches in Puerto Rico are considered open to the public – there are no private beaches, But A Balneario is managed by Compania de Parques Nacionales, (the city govt.) and they offer picnic and bathroom facilities, parking, showers, the sand is cleaned, and the water quality is monitored. The waters on a Balneario are typically better for swimming and family-friendly. Most tourists stay at the beach nearest the hotels, so on a weekday, here you can enjoy the pleasures of an uncrowded beach and parking is only $5. address: Balneario de Carolina, Calle off route 187

Food scene

In the center of old San Juan is a local favorite, a must experience, Raices restaurant has The flavors of the times of our ancestors, where tradition, culture and the folklore of our island come together. That unmistakable mix of seasonings that makes each dish or typical "gustito" a delight to the palate... That's our taste.

A 10-20 minute drive and a **must go to**, if you want to experience the cultural essence of Puerto Rican food. My wife and I do not come to the island without stopping here first. After traveling all day and only being serving a measly bag of peanuts on the plane, we sooooo look forward to our stop at Pinones for a quick fix. There are many roadside kiosks, souvenir shops and restaurants to choose from but, El Rinconcito Latino is our favorite and others favorite too (see youtube jimmy fallon in PR video). Top this all off with a beautiful beachside view and boardwalk. address: PR-187, Loíza, 00983, Puerto Rico https://youtu.be/QLXGYfUCSqQ
