Even those on a shorter trip to Puerto Rico fall easily under the overwhelming spells of Old San Juan's cobblestone roads, softly painted colonial structures and terrific strongholds. From the fortified walls of El Morro, the charm of this spot is apparent in every course – from the maze of twisting and turning alleyways to unending shimmer of the Atlantic.

This – the crush of sand between the toes, the splendid shimmer of turquoise water and musical shush of peaking waves, perhaps the patter of your most loved record in the earphones – supplies a visit to Puerto Rico with the characteristics of a fantasy. From the brilliant, sickle molded paradise of Playa Flamenco (considered among the world's best shorelines), coconut oil-scented hordes of Puerto Rico's little reminiscence of Brazil, Playa Isla Verde, and the segregated, mangrove-concealed hideaways in the south to the thundering surf of the west, Puerto Rico's unending shorelines are the incarnation of your ideal paradise.

Few encounters can match the spine-tingling experience of drifting into inky waves under a covering of stars and witnessing one of the nature's most mystical tricks: the supernatural gleam of bioluminescent waters. Swimming or kayaking into Puerto Rico's bioluminescent coves and seeing the jeweled glint of water trickle from your hands or light up an oar stroke guarantees an affair of significant miracle. The bioluminescent waters in the coves of Vieques unveil the magic at its best.

A large portion of the island's most radiant spots for snorkeling and swimming lie out of the vigorously swarmed tourist areas, on satellite islands off the principle island's east or south drift and coral reefs in the southwest. In the morning, waters off these territories are perfectly clear and generally sufficiently cool to oar around for a considerable length of time and to cherish the profound visibility of up to 75 m. What can be an even better view – expect a mob of brilliantly shaded fish, coral arrangements and, in case you're fortunate, a lethargic sting ray.

On the off chance that you attempt to enjoy each and every reflector of colonial magnificence – all the fountains and noteworthy squares, each honorable estate house or buttressed 19th-century community hall – Puerto Rico's iconic structures would require as long as a month. Anyhow, if nothing else outside of Old San Juan complies with your time-table, take a walk around the Plaza Las Delicias in Ponce.

Like Capetown and Miami, Bondi is a phenomenal beach experience. This is where Sydney comes to flaunt their bodies and the beach is swarmed with bikinis and six packs. Although people who have body-image issues won’t feel too comfortable, but the curves and muscles of fitness freaks just can’t be overlooked.
Choices of surfing proliferate as hundreds of surf instructors extend their hand to nurture your skills. For an alluring view of the big sandy arc, reach out to Ben Buckler lookout and the northern tip of the beach.
If you don’t fancy dunking yourself into the surf, then reach out to Icebergs Swimming Pool and Surf, southwards from the beach. Both its lunch and pools won’t fail to delight you.

Tamarama & Bronte

Tracking south on the Clifftop trails which kicks off just beyond the Icebergs, the wind struck sandstone cliffs and endless Pacific Ocean couldn’t be more fascinating. Look out for occasional dolphins and migrating whales.
Tamarama beach is a decent stretch of sand, which is swarmed by sun-worshippers all-year round. A roller coaster is built offshore here which is the main attraction of the amusement park.
Further south, Bronte is like a waning crescent moon, and its bowl-shaped park is dotted with pinic tables and barbeques. The swimming here is good and the cheap breezy eateries do just enough to please you.

Move further south past the Australian parrots and cuddling lovers in Burrows Park to the gentle Clovelly beach apt for families. Bordered by concrete terraces, the beach looks more like a private pool area- ideal for snorkeling.
Following the trail you will pass through Gordon’s Bay and ultimately land up in Coogee Beach. It derives its name from the ancient word for seaweeds, but don’t develop any preconceived notions, The beach here is awesome and fun to frolic around.
