About Port of San Juan Guide

As you explore the site, you may notice an interesting sound.

The sound you hear belongs to the Coquí, one of the island’s most recognizable and cherished voices. Named after its famous “ko-kee” call, this tiny tree frog is found only in Puerto Rico and holds a special place in local culture.

Known scientifically as Eleutherodactylus coqui, the Coquí grows only 1–2 inches long, yet its sound fills entire forests each night. Unlike other frogs, it is born fully formed, skipping the tadpole stage entirely.

So when you hear this call while exploring the network, you’re not just browsing beaches — you’re stepping into the soul of the island.

🌊 Beach Etiquette & Conservation

  • Leave no trace – Take everything you bring with you and leave the beach cleaner than you found it.
  • Respect wildlife – Observe from a distance and never feed animals. If you spot sea turtles, give them space.
  • Protect turtle nests – Avoid disturbing marked nesting areas and keep bright lights off the beach at night.
  • Support local businesses – Choose local food, shops, and tours when you can—your trip directly supports Puerto Rico’s communities.
  • Dispose of trash responsibly – Use bins when available, and if they’re full, take your trash with you.
  • Use reef-safe sunscreen – Many nature reserves require it. Reef-safe products help protect coral and marine life.
  • Keep music at a respectful volume – Preserve the natural soundscape so everyone can enjoy the beach.
