I’m hearing from others who have visited PR that it’s a haven for rampant crime and corruption. I haven’t ever been there so can’t say, but will have to trust my fellow FReepers. The only places that are nice are the private beaches. So your beautiful photo must be from one of those.

I’ll take the white sand and turquoise water in the Florida Panhandle any day of the week. Wish I could be there right now. One day. One day.

I live in Puerto Rico and except for my time in the Army, I’ve lived here all my life. It’s not bad at all. Crime is a concern mostly if you’re into drugs or drug trafficking. Otherwise, it is just fine.

I’ve also live in Alabama and Panama City Beach was “my” beach. Believe me, Caribbean beaches are far superior. And believe it or not, the beach in the picture is a public beach.

The other beach was in Culebra Island, off the beaten path in Puerto Rico. The picture below is Ocean Park beach, right in the San Juan Metro Area. Two blocks from my office.

And this is the main public beach just off the airport, where the locals hang out:

I am “there.” It’s cold.
