Vieques and Culebra are beautiful islands situated only about a 35-minute ferry ride from Ceiba. The ferry costs $2 each way (yes....$2). Both islands have incredibly beautiful beaches - Vieques has a black sand beach in addition to many other incredible white sand beaches and Culebra has one of the Top 10 ranked beaches in the World! The pace is much slower there and is much more like a laid-back paradise with quaint shops, good local bars and restaurants and even wild horses! Start early and plan to spend the entire day there or even overnight. Check the ferry schedule for departure times.

The area of Pinones is located between Ceiba and Carolina along the seacoast. It's very close to the San Juan Airport and has many beautiful beaches, restaurants and bars. Take the drive along the seacoast from Ceiba to Carolina. Pull off anywhere along the road and enjoy the scenic beaches. Partake in the local food, cold beer and seafood. Make this a day trip and start early, especially on the weekends when traffic becomes very heavy by 1 pm. Marc Anthony makes it a point to stop here when he's in Puerto Rico - Highly recommended!

This is a great seafood restaurant located within the Kioskos less than 5 minutes from the villa. Many of the kioskos have good food, but if you want a nicer meal at a little higher price this place cannot be beaten. Splurge a little - it's worth it!

Great food with a great atmosphere at the Fajardo Marina. This open-air restaurant is casual, but the food is some of the best on the island and the prices aren't bad. Ask the servers what they recommend - the risotto is delicious. You'll enjoy watching the boats come and go.
