LOCATION
Blue Ocean Studio is located in Luquillo Beach, Puerto Rico. Luquillo Beach is well known for its refreshing trade winds and large palm trees which provide plenty of shade. The location provides quick and easy access to some of the best beaches in Puerto Rico, El Yunque Rainforest, and the boat tours and water activities based out of Fajardo.
There are many things to do in the surrounding areas, here are some of our favorites:
Chill at the beach! It's one of our favorite beaches in Puerto Rico and a must-do if you are staying at Blue Ocean Studio. The apartment has beach chairs, towels, and coolers for a long day at the beach.
Lunch or dinner at Los Kioskos de Luquillo. There are over 25 restaurants on the Caribbean beachfront restaurant strip. One of our favorites is "La Parrilla".
Take a surfing lesson right at La Pared Beach. There are multiple surf schools located on this beach and it is a 5-minute walk away from the apartment.
Explore the El Yunque Rainforest. El Yunque is an easy 10-minute drive from the property and is the only rainforest under US Flagship.
Spend a day in Old San Juan. Blue Ocean Villa is a 45 min drive away from the oldest city in all of the US. There is a lot of history to be seen and great food and drinks to be had.
Charter a boat from Fajardo. There are many boats you can charter for day trips to neighboring islands and coral reefs. You can choose from large boats that sell by ticket or smaller boats you can rent out for private trips with a captain.
GETTING AROUND
We strongly recommend renting a full-size car as there is a multitude of activities within a 30-minute drive which you will not want to miss out on. You'd be able to park 1 vehicle in one of the unassigned parking spots.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly recommend that all guests purchase travel insurance, especially during the peak months of Hurricane Season, which are July to October. Travel insurance is inexpensive and will reimburse travelers for most expenses associated with canceling travel outside of the cancellation window; however, this will depend on what the coverage purchased covers. Make sure to review and understand the options before purchase. Disclaimer: we are not associated with any travel insurance companies.
