Known as the "Land of Giants" in honor of its celebrated residents--including poet Julia de Burgos and baseball player Roberto Clemente--Carolina makes a living as both an industrial center and a hub of tourism. As the town sits on the Atlantic coast, a holiday in Carolina inevitably includes some water activities, such as sailing, swimming, and fishing. Other popular things to do in Carolina involve tours of nearby San Juan, boasting a rich colonial history and plenty of modern attractions to keep you pleasantly diverted for days. Back in Carolina, you can shop, attend local festivals, and use the town's recreational facilities to play volleyball, baseball, basketball, and even hockey. Find what you're looking for from your Carolina holiday, by planning the whole thing with us using our handy Puerto Rico online itinerary planner.
