For a more removed experience, take a ferry or fly to Culebra, an island off the east coast of Puerto Rico. You will feel very far from the bigger island and lost in this hedonistic destination. Rent a golf cart and speed your way through the island.
Some of the most beautiful beaches are Flamenco, Zoni, Tamarindo, and, if you can get a boat ride, Culebrita. When the stomach starts to growl, drive downtown and eat at Zaco's Tacos — it has really good tacos and a nice, laid-back atmosphere. For a quick bite, I always go to a "panaderia," or bakery, for a hearty meal, good coffee, or a sandwich to-go. My favorite panaderia in Culebra is Pandeli, on Pedro Marquez Street.
