One day I was visiting a community discussion board and came across a member's request for more information, on what attractions were near where they were staying.
I was amazed by one of the response that went like this "Other than golf and the beach there really was nothing much to do in that place" Puerto Rico is only two hundred miles long by 35 miles wide, in view of this you can drive to just about any part of the Island in one day.
Here is a list of a few of the main events on the island.

Puerto Rico is an island paradise with beaches on every coast; they feature beautiful warm blue waters with some of the best scenic views in the world.
There is plenty of nightlife in San Juan and Isla Verde with casinos in many of the major hotels.
You could spend a whole week taking in all that Puerto Rico has to offer and not cover one third of what we have mentioned here in this article.
