Salinas is a town located on the southern coast of Puerto Rico and is renowned for its beautiful beaches. It enjoys the privilege of being just off the PR-52 - the main highway dissecting the centre of the island - making it a good base for anyone with the desire to explore both Ponce (Puerto Rico's second city) and San Juan (the capital). Hiring a car in Salinas is available from the town centre or locations across the island.
Salinas is home to the highly regarded Albergue Olimpico. As well as being an Olympic training centre, Albergue Olimpico is also a much loved water park and sports museum. For more idle pleasures, you're invited to head down to the relaxing Salinas Marina where you'll find all sorts of restaurants and shops.
If you're staying in Salinas, you will need transport to get to the Albergue Olimpico water park. If you're hiring a car in Salinas, you'll find the park via a short drive north. For a spot of relaxation, Punta Guilarte Beach is just east of the town, which is often acknowledged as being one of the finest beaches in Puerto Rico.
San Juan may be on the other side of the island, but it's less than an hour away on the PR-52, and don't forget that the city of Ponce is very close, heading west on the PR-52.
