Beach in San Juan

Any suggestions for a good (nicest) beach to visit in San Juan? Also, any good spots to snorkel (since I know the nicest beach and a good snorkel spot aren't necessarily the same)?

Beach Bunny,
I would vote for Ocean Beach. I loved it the last time I visited. It wasn't necessarily a good snorkel spot - but a great beach, nonetheless.

How far away is Ocean Beach??

I believe Cruising Queen is referring to Ocean Park, which is just on the other side of the Condado resort area - about 10-15 minutes outside of Old San Juan (about 5 miles away). I agree that is excellent, but can get crowded as it is in the center of the tourist area. If you have a car, a litle bit further east is Luquillo Beach (about 30 miles outside of San Juan near the rain forest), one of my favorites.

Ooops! Nancy, you are right - I did mean Ocean Park. Thanks for the correction.
