Local rental tip

If you’re staying in San Pedro around the high season, avoid the busiest beachfront spots unless you want to be in the middle of it all. Instead, look for rentals on the northern end of the island near Boca del Rio. It’s quieter but still close to the center. You’ll get cooler breezes in the late afternoon and easy access to some local taco joints that locals really like. Plus, this area feels more laid-back and is often overlooked by visitors who stick to the main tourist strip.
