Ready to plan the ultimate Father’s Day escape? Here are the best ways to honor Dad across the island.
Take Him on a Craft Beer Adventure
Craft beer fans, take note: Puerto Rico’s brewery scene is booming.
Start in San Juan with a tasting flight at Ocean Lab Brewing Co. or hit up La Taberna Lupulo, the number 1 craft beer spot in Old San Juan. Then road trip west to Cold Blood Brewery in Quebradillas or Boxlab Brewing Co. in Aguadilla.
Want to explore the mountains? Cacique Brewing Company in Orocovis is a hidden gem with mountain views. Book a brewery tour, sample island-brewed IPAs, and raise a pint to Dad.
Beach BBQs and Chill Coastal Days
For the laid-back dad, nothing beats a beach day.
Pack the cooler, fire up the portable grill, and claim a spot at Jobos Beach in Isabela, Playa Buyé in Cabo Rojo, or Seven Seas in Fajardo. These beaches offer calm waves, palm-shaded areas, and room for the whole family.
Bring local favorites like pinchos, longaniza, and pastelillos, and let the sound of the waves set the tone for a perfect Father’s Day feast.
Steak and Surf: Treat Him to a Feast
For dads who crave a great meal, Puerto Rico delivers.
In San Juan, head to Meat Market, La Estación in Fajardo, or Ola Oceanfront Bistro for a surf-and-turf combo with a view. In the mountains, La Finca in Naranjito serves hearty, rustic dishes that blend fine dining with countryside charm.
Want something classic? Visit Vaca Brava in Caguas or Old San Juan for a meat lover’s dream meal, complete with mofongo, rice, and tostones.
Go Off-Grid in the Mountains
Escape the crowds and take Dad inland.
Book a weekend stay in the Cordillera Central and enjoy the fresh mountain air. In Adjuntas, Casa Pueblo offers eco-tours and small coffee farms. In Utuado, you can kayak on Lago Dos Bocas, zipline through the forest, or hike to Cañón Blanco.
For a cozy overnight? Try an Airbnb cabin in Jayuya or Orocovis, where you can grill, stargaze, and disconnect together.
Explore the Island’s Rich History
History-loving dads will appreciate Puerto Rico’s cultural treasures.
Visit Castillo San Felipe del Morro in Old San Juan or take a guided tour of Hacienda Buena Vista in Ponce. Down south near Ponce, explore the ancient Tibes Indigenous Ceremonial Center.

Tee Off with Tropical Views
If your dad’s ideal day includes 18 holes, Puerto Rico’s got him covered.
Book a morning round at TPC Dorado Beach, Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Golf & Beach Resort, or Punta Borinquen Golf Club in Aguadilla. These courses combine lush fairways with unbeatable Caribbean views, the perfect setting for a Father’s Day tee time.
