Cities Of Puerto Rico - Luquillo
A Famous Blue Flag Beach.
Whether Luquillo derived its name from Loukuo, a Taíno divinity, or the famous Taíno chief Luquilla, is a matter of some contention. However, there is no argument that Luquillo offers one of the most stunning beaches and outstanding Balnearios in all of Puerto Rico.
The Balneario de Luquillo is a mile-long stretch of sculpted sand set against a backdrop of massive palm trees. For travelers with special needs, the Sea Without Barriers complex at the east end of the beach is designed to provide all the facilities necessary to make the waters of Puerto Rico as accessible as possible. This includes specially trained full-time staff working with equipment custom-designed for this facility.
Luquillo is also certified as a Blue Flag beach, a European quality-control system for world-class beaches. For a quick local snack, try one of the food kiosks just outside the entrance to the Balneario.
