Five reasons Americans should choose Panama over the Caribbean, with day trips to boot {Gadling}

Nov 30th 2010 3:22PM I do not know where some people will vacation when they go to Puerto Rico, but San Juan and Luquillo beach are not the only places for the tourists looking for great beaches. I grew up in Puerto Rico and until this day I have never put a foot in dirty, trashy beach water. I do not deny that there might be areas that are that way. We have to teach our tourists and the people in the island that there is more than just San Juan, Vieques and Culebra. We have Boqueron beach and the many resorts around the area, Rincon, Aguadilla, La Parguera and some of the Islands in the area, Fajardo, Cana Gorda and the Copa Marina Resort, not very well known by many puerto ricans living in the Island. If you do not know of any of these magnificient places, then you do not know Puerto Rico
