Every June 23d, Puerto Ricans celebrate la Noche de San Juan – an eve of a feast for Saint John, the Baptist's birth. Unlike other festivities around the world, in Puerto Rico, this celebration -which occurs two days before the summer solstice- marks a holiday spent at the beach.

This popular Puerto Rican tradition is observed on June 23d, when the locals celebrate la Noche de San Juan on the eve of Saint John the Baptist Nativity. In Puerto Rico, la Noche de San Juan is always celebrated on the beach. Throughout the entire day, the seaside gets crowded with people.
