4) 8 a.m. Local beans

Puerto Rican coffee farmers, who had been doing a brisk business as a result of the global obsession with flat whites and cold brews, lost about 80 percent of their crops in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. But thanks to a group of agricultural entrepreneurs and activists, the industry is poised to get back on its feet. Head to up-and-coming Loiza Street to sample a blend from selected local farms at Café con Cé, a tiny cafe with interiors featuring deliberately tattered walls and Scandinavian furniture. On weekends, they have brunch items like French toast and omelets. Hacienda San Pedro Coffee Shop, on nearby Avenida de Diego, sells espressos and lattes made with beans from an award-winning farm in the mountains of central Puerto Rico. Sandwiches are also on the menu.

5) 10 a.m. On the beach

San Juan has miles of lovely beaches washed by turquoise waves. Isla Verde’s wide, uninterrupted swath of sand fringed by palm trees is a favorite among both locals and visitors. If swimming and strolling isn’t enough, you can book a surf lesson or rent a Jet Ski from Wow Surfing School & Jet Ski, a water sports outfit with a permanent kiosk right behind the El San Juan Hotel ($70 for a 30-minute Jet Ski rental).
