Visitors from around the world come to <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1nTQi0X\" target=\"_blank\">Puerto Rico<\/a> to relax on the soft warm sand and swim in the clear blue water. On your <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1p5p1Wz\" target=\"_blank\">Caribbean cruise<\/a>, it&#8217;s likely that you&#8217;ll be spending some time at the beach.<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, you really can&#8217;t go wrong with most Puerto Rican beaches, but \u00a0there are a few that stand above the rest. Here are some of our favorites, from the team at CruiseExperts.com:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Boquer\u00f3n Beach <\/strong>&#8211; Located in the southwest corner of the island,\u00a0Boquer\u00f3n Beach is filled with colorful scenery. Visitors often refer to it as a tropical version of Cape Cod. The water here is almost always calm, making it a great place for swimming, sailing and fishing. Here, you&#8217;ll find a few great restaurants offering freshly-caught seafood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>El Convento\u00a0Beach<\/strong> &#8211; Just want to get away from the noisy parts of the island for a while? El Convento is where you need to go. Here, you will find nothing but miles of undeveloped coastline. Snorkeling is also great here, as you will see unspoiled coral reefs and various marine animals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luquillo Beach <\/strong>&#8211; Luquillo is one of the island&#8217;s most photographed beaches, most likely because of\u00a0its beautiful white sands. This is great spot for families with young children because the water is warm and shallow. The beach also has tent sites and picnic areas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo.jpg\"><picture data-avif-picture=\"1\"><source type=\"image\/avif\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo-200x200.avif 200w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo-400x267.avif 400w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo.avif 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\"><img data-avif-wrap=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47050 size-full\" title=\"Luquillo Beach in Puerto Rico\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo.jpg\" alt=\"ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo\" width=\"576\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo.jpg 576w, https:\/\/www.cruiseexperts.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/ii-puerto-rico-luquillo-beach-06022014-lo-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/picture><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Do you need help finding a cruise that visits Puerto Rico in the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1j4G0TM\" target=\"_blank\">Caribbean<\/a>?
