- Start date
Hi Jeff - Just booked a trip there myself with the missus. We're really stoked to snorkel our butts off. Any tips on prime spots for coral snooping or the best place to rent gear?
Best,
Rob

Awesome man! How long are you there for?
Rent a golf cart to get around the island. Visit all the beaches! We brought our own equipment and never rented but there are loads of places near the ferry port.
If you are taking the ferry make sure you have your tickets pre-purchased; as they can sell out fast. If you are staying a while try to get over to Culebrita that has the best/pristine reef near puerto rico! Captain Dave has a charter that can take you over there.
Snorkeling
#6 Best Beach in the world - Flamenco Beach: The reef (Shark Cage) is all the way on the right side of the beach, very easy to access the reef, no waves. Some corals, good fish.
Tamarindo Beach - Great reef (lots of gorgonians, acros, lps) can be wavy, Turtles come out at 9-10am till about noon. Rockyish Beach.
Melones Beach - Best reef on the island! lots of acro, big gorgonians and sea fans, can be wavy, turtles, manta rays, some big fish! can be difficult access.
Zoni Beach - no reef but amazing beach and supreme privacy!
Food!
Dinghy Dock - eat/drink right on the water, see the huge tarpoons
Mamacitas - eat/drink right on the water, see the huge tarpoons
Krusty Krab - Best fish/seafood on the island

Nice! I have never attempted to bring a car over. But there is a cargo ferry,which can take your car. Not sure how difficult it may be to get your car on there. Our friends tried to but didnt get to it in time and had to leave the car parked in Fajardo.
Good luck!

Ha! We've been thinking about moving there or least getting a small place. I love the island, but its not for everyone. There are zero resorts and natural/wild mentality that differs from most of the Caribbean islands. Check it out and let me know if you need help getting the logistics/contacts together!
