Drinks & Nightlife

Great place to have a local Mojito. Try the one on the corner of the back of the Building, where there is a Canopy with some chairs. It is a whole in the wall, but delicious Mojitos. Best days are from Thursday - Sunday. But you can really arrive any day. Gets crowded later, after 10pm.

Open at night, every-night. Also open from 12-4pm Tuesday to Saturday and from 11am - 3pm on Sunday. Nice to have a drink in front of the Ocean or to eat. Not the most economical.

Bioluminescent Bay. I was truly amazed by this. Have never seen something like this before. I love going there. Needs to be adventurous, take mosquito repelant.

Beautiful beach for a day trip. Make sure you walk it and see the old military tank stuck on the beach. It used to be a military island and they would test anti tank rounds.

Nice place to take a little boat and ride it to the cayos around the area (little islands where you can park the boat and jump on the water) and mangroves. Johnny boats (787) 460-8922 can rent you a small boat, very cheap.

Kids park with some activities in case your young one is a bit bored. There are several trees, so you get some great shade. Right behind the apartment. One block walk.

Great Surfing. My favorite surf spot, when there is a nice swell. I like riding right waves and this spot has nice, somewhat slow waves. When it is really big, it is another story... I would say you need to sleep there one night at least. It takes 2h30min to get there.

The same means dirty beach, but it nothing dirty about it. One of the nicest beaches in Puerto Rico, but quite far for a day tour. If you are heading southwest for a couple of days, it is worth visiting.

Sightseeing

Great neighborhood. Must visit the fort. I prefer San Felipe's Castillo than San Cristobal. Nicer view, on the tip of the peninsula. Also a bigger Fort.

Nice area to hangout. Aside from the views of the condado lagoon, you can have a drink at Blue Martini Bar. Eat at Brazilian steakhouse Fogo de Chao, or visit the "Mercado" inside the Paseo Caribe, where they have several restaurant options for you to enjoy.

Shopping

Outlet stores in Puerto Rico. There is another outlet in the island, but Barceloneta has more variety. No comparison to the Big outlets in the US, but if you live in an expensive country and want to look at some options, it may be worth. Please check the store on the Barceloneta website, before going there.
