Snorkeling

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

There is nothing nicer than renting a canoe or kayak and traveling around the island of Puerto Rico. You can visit the many different cays as well as small islands that are largely uninhabited in the area. You can not only go around the sea but also in the lakes as well as the only river, the Espritu Santo.

Windsurfing

In addition to being the surfing capital of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico is also the Windsurfing capital. You can find windsurfing at many of the beaches in Puerto Rico as the trade winds make it an ideal climate for this particular water sport.
