San Juan: Puerto de Tierra
Centrally located between Old San Juan and Condado with a great beach.
By:Travel and Sports Staff, June-2008

This beautiful, historic, tree-lined park was just completely renovated and is a great stopping off point if you are in the area. Fuerte San Geronimo (not currently open to the public) may be seen from the parking lot behind the Caribe Hilton. ... (more)
