Almost drowned here. Respect the ocean, folks. Crazy how quickly the waves can crash and pull you in

Thank you for posting Videos of Puerto Rico! Keep posting them

Thank you for that awesome video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍👍👍

Iam going to Puerto Rico soon.l love the condado beach ⛱️🏖️⛱️🏖️🏖️.and Miramar hotel and Canario by the lagoon.

Was there last year this time. So fun. Nightlife is good to. I’d live there but it’s far from west coast

Fantastic video thanks that's my island .💗⛱💃🕺

The Condado area of San Juan is Not where anyone should visit with the only exception people arriving in cruise lines due to limited time of departure.There are numerous of place/town that you can visit like Isabela free live salsa concert every Saturday nights.A place that is called Guavate for the freshly prepare roasted pork and morcillas(Blood pudding) other interest may be Luquillo due the amazing beach,Farjado in the west coast of Puerto Rico.

Luquillo and Fajardo are in the east of the island. To the west are Rincón and Mayagüez, and to the south west are the beautiful beaches of Cabo Rojo, to name a few. But the island is full of beautiful places.

My wife and I snorkeled that lagoon many times. My favorite body of water in PR. The biggest danger to me is the Stonefish. I have video of several. And yes, they look like a stone until you step one...just dont! We actually found a graduates ring from SJ Military academy in the lagoon near the bridge and reunited him with it a few years later

I usually go to this beach in February/March and the water is much higher. Waves are almost hitting all the way to La Concha hotel sometimes

We have about 250 more beaches to enjoy from about 2,000 beaches in PR. PR is not that point only. We are 78 towns.

I lived at the SJ Marriott for six years. One weekend a honeymoon couple was playing in the water when the undertook the groom and he drowned. There was no coroner available on the weekend, so his body lay on the beach for more than a day. I hope thing have improved, but by afternoon the beach was often as much cigarette butts as sand.

A few years ago I went to that beach and the waves were calm but sometimes strong. I was coming out of the water and at the shore when out of now where a fast and strong wave hit me hard and knocked me down. Actually the wave hit me on the side like a kidney punch and I went down right after.

How long are you going to be there bro

Although the beach looks beautiful and enticing, is one of the most dangerous beaches on the island due rip tide currents that can be at times challenging for even experienced swimmers. Not long ago, a kid who just got off the plane, and a first timer on the island jumped in and unfortunately drowned. Just be aware. Thanks for sharing.

Piña Colada is easy to do,the way l do it is: pineapple juice,evaporate milk,con densed milk,coconut milk and ice.

Sly is waxing philosophical in this vid.:DD My take: balance is the best approach. I can't handle too much non-work.

If you need help let me know 👍🏼

Mofongo yes ❤

I'm looking for conch shells and or sand dollars will I find any 😊

That beach is dangerous.You can go tp the first you visit in this video or take the bus or Uber to go to Isla Verde that is the best of the area.If you want bathrooms and beverages you can go to the private one near hotels in Isla Verde.But if you have a dream to visit those like pools,in the east coast you can take a taxi boat or catamaran to Icacos and a big boat to Culebra and go to Flamenco beach.One of the best.Both Icacos or Flamenco are pools.There some many more.Condado,remember that so many tourists die there frecuently.The currents are dangerous.

I've been visiting PR for nearly 50 years, including month long stays. (I own a Condo in Luquillo) My family owned three at one time, including one on Ashford Ave. near where you recorded this video. Over the years we've seen many drownings, typically involving people unfamiliar with the area's rip currents. People explore past the breakers, get caught in the rip current; then they panic, fight the current, and disaster follows. The beaches can be seductive - they're a gentile Puerto Rican lover that demands respect. To truly enjoy PR, you must experience it on its own terms.

@@sir.fuentes7642 The statement I make about Puerto Rico and its infrastructure for tourism is based on basic principles. 1. How easy is it to navigate a place? I found myself driving the island from end to end in a rental car. Metro transportation or travel guides were either not present or unavailable. 2. Diversity and Availability of activities. I had multiple fails booking the activities I was most interested in. Water Taxis to Culebra Island were completely booked for weeks and were unavailable. Traveling there by plane was equally inaccesible. These excursions must be booked weeks before arrival on the island. The companies that rent sailboats or do snorkeling tours had similar lack of availability. Despite having a local pulling all the strings and reaching out to multiple contacts, nothing. 3. Opportunities to explore culture and history. Puerto Rico has been colonized for a long time and it is evident. The majority of the restaurants are popular US chain restaurants. Outside of the museums or historic sites, there wasn't a distinctive feel of being away from the mainland. MARCH 2022
