If you are spending this Memorial Day weekend in Puerto Rico here are a few ideas for the long weekend
What to Do
Beaches, Beaches, Beaches
The beaches, whether on the PR mainland or over on Vieques and Culebra will be extremely busy during the holiday weekend. So grab your gear, get there early and enjoy the sun, surf and sand. Just remember to dispose of your trash properly at the end of the day;, better still; take it with you when you leave.
El Yunque
Even though only a few of the trails are open, El Yunque will be extremely busy over the Memorial Day Weekend. Once El YUnque has reached car capacity there will be restrictions on entrance with cars only allowed in, once cars have left the forest area. So plan on arriving early to make the most of your time in El Yunque
