Day 1
Parque Forestal La Marquesa
A mountaintop forest park above Guaynabo with an aviary, a butterfly house, a cable car, play areas, and gazebos. A popular family day out with metro views.
San Juan / Condado
Surf breaks at La Ocho, Pine Grove and Condado face the open Atlantic and are at their best from November to March. The calmer inside spots are where surf schools start beginners.

Day 2
Parque Nacional Julio Enrique Monagas
An urban state park in Bayamón built on a former World War II military installation. Bunkers and ammunition warehouses are still standing among the trails. Hiking and mountain-biking routes run through it, with picnic gazebos, playgrounds, bridle paths, and limestone mogotes that climbers are allowed on.
Escambrón Marine Park
An easy shore dive in the middle of San Juan: a protected reef with old ruins, entered from the beach. Coral ledges, seagrass and plenty of fish lie a short swim out; dive schools train here and snorkelers come on calm days.
Ikebana Sushi Bar
A long-running sushi and Japanese restaurant at San Patricio Plaza in Guaynabo: creative rolls plus craft beer, cocktails, and wine. One of the island's best-known sushi spots.
Directions from Escambrón Marine ParkLa Revuelta Beer Garden Guaynabo
The metro-side sibling of the Caguas original: the same 150-plus craft-beer program and cocktail bar, open-air and pet-friendly, bringing the beer-garden formula to Guaynabo.
Directions from Ikebana Sushi Bar
Day 3

Playa Ocean Park
Playa Ocean Park is a large public beach in the residential Santurce district of San Juan, near Dr. José Celso Barbosa Park. It was once called Último Trolley Beach, after the old San Juan–Condado streetcar line that ended there.
