Warm sea, cool evenings, music on every plaza and a Christmas that lasts six weeks. December might be the best month of all to bring the family to Puerto Rico. Here's what to expect, and where to stay so you can enjoy it.<\/p>\n

Picture your kids building a sandcastle under a palm tree wrapped in Christmas lights. The water is warm and clear, the trade wind keeps the afternoon comfortable, and from somewhere up the street comes the sound of a cuatro playing a carol you've never heard. That's December in Puerto Rico. It's beach weather and Christmas spirit in the same afternoon, and once your family has had both together, a cold December at home can feel like a strange idea.<\/p>\n

It's also the island's busiest month for travel. Puerto Rico Tourism Company figures show December is the peak month for arrivals at the San Juan airport, when visitors and Puerto Ricans living on the mainland fly in for the holidays. That tells you two things. The island is at its most festive, and the best stays book up early.<\/p>\n

What is the weather like in Puerto Rico in December?<\/h2>\n

Warm and pleasant, with the start of the drier season. Daytime temperatures usually sit in the low to mid eighties Fahrenheit, evenings are a little cooler, and the sea is warm enough for swimming every day. The north coast starts picking up winter swell, so beach conditions change, and short showers pass quickly.<\/p>\n
