Puerto Rico

Travelers tend to steer clear of the Caribbean during summer because it marks the official start of hurricane season. Still, the threat of a hurricane is low during early summer, and visitors can take advantage of cheaper airfare and hotel prices.

Puerto Rico's history, culture, beaches and nearby islands, such as Vieques, make it a popular vacation spot. Because the island is a major travel hub, flights from the United States are often direct. Still worried about storms? Purchase travel insurance for peace of mind.
