Kioskos de Luquillo
The Luquillo Kiosks are comprised of a row of around 60 family-owned kiosks selling food, drinks, and souvenirs. Visitors to the kiosks will find that they vary in style, taste, and price. They're all open air, and while some face the street, others have beautiful views of the beach. This is a perfect pitstop after enjoying a beach day on the east coast or a hiking day at El Yunque.

La Guancha
La Guancha is a family-friendly place where people of all ages come to play, eat, enjoy the day, and the meet their friends. The biggest draw is probably the food kiosks, serving local fare and drinks (alcoholic and otherwise). You can enjoy your food at a bar, on a bench outside, as you walk along, or while standing near the water. There is also a place or two with seating. Many of the kiosks will have music, but sometimes there is live music. ( 5 mins from wedding venue)

Here, you can set off on one of the impressive hiking trails through the undisturbed forest, which leads to an interesting old lighthouse and even a pirates’ cave.
