Due to its location on the coast and relative short distance from the capital, Humacao is a frequent stop for tourists. One of the most notable tourist mainstays is the [[Palmas Del Mar Beach Resort|Palmas del Mar]] resort, which is Puerto Rico's largest resort. This mega-resort is composed of over {{convert|3000|acre|km2}} of land and occupies the entire southeastern portion of Humacao. The resort contains tennis courts, two world-class golf courses, beach access, several restaurants and a riding center.

Aside from the beaches at the Palmas del Mar resort, Humacao has other beaches. The most popular ones are [[Punta Santiago, Humacao, Puerto Rico|Punta Santiago]], Buena Vista, Punta Candelero, and El Morrillo.<ref name="enciclopediapr" /> The Candelero Beach Resort, built in 1973, with its 107 rooms, 25 which are suites, was purchased and revitalized by the Suarez family.<ref name="END Candelero Beach Resort">{{cite web | title=Revitalizan el Candelero Beach Resort en Humacao | website=El Nuevo Dia | date=December 6, 2018 | url=https://www.elnuevodia.com/videos/negocios/empresas/revitalizanelcandelerobeachresortenhumacao-251239/ | language=es | access-date=September 4, 2019 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190904175228/https://www.elnuevodia.com/videos/negocios/empresas/revitalizanelcandelerobeachresortenhumacao-251239/ | archive-date=September 4, 2019 | url-status=live }}</ref>
