My next recommendation is very close to Cayey and one of my most beloved places to disconnect: the coastal town of Salinas. Follow signs to Salinas Pueblo and drive toward the water. There are countless of restaurants lining the beach, but one that keeps me coming back for more is El Balcón del Capitan. It has the best dulce de lechoza I've ever tried. I swear. Plus, its ocean view is mesmerizing — get there by sunset and have your camera ready. Other cool spots in this town include Aguirre, a centuries-old sugar mill village; the Aguirre Golf Club, the oldest gold course in Puerto Rico; and the Salinas Speedway. Yes, a speedway. Locals do like to flaunt their rides.
