We would recommend you sign up for the tour or take the mixology class. You can get here via ferry from Old San Juan.

Here, a strip of over 60 local restaurants expand in front of a great beach. It is a short drive from San Juan and definitely worth the drive. Some notable kiosks are Edelweiss, Lechonera La Tribu and Rellena'o. Get a massive 32oz mojito from Mojito Factory and enjoy the beach.
