Snorkeling

Not as adventurous as scuba diving but a lot of fun.

Surfing

Puerto Rico is called the surfing capital of the Caribbean. You can find surfboard rentals as well as body boards in most of the shops along the beaches. Surfing enthusiasts like the Northern coast of the island and the beaches but you can hit the waves throughout Puerto Rico.

Body surfing is a lot of fun as well as is boogie boarding. This can be a great water sport for young and old alike.

Canoeing and Kayaking
