Rincón, Puerto Rico: Coastal Town with Beaches for Surfing and Snorkeling

The word rincón is Spanish for “corner” or “niche”; appropriately, the town of Rincón is situated on a slice of Puerto Rican coastline that was essentially undiscovered for years. Surfers began flooding in to tackle the killer waves here, and the area’s stature grew until it eventually hosted the 1968 World Surfing Championship and became a bona fide resort town. The beaches remain the biggest draw in the village, which is located about two and a half hours from San Juan.

During the day, a crowd gathers to watch surfers ride the long, fast waves on the northern beaches, such as Domes, which is named after the green domes of an abandoned nuclear-power plant just off the shore. Beaches to the south typically have calmer waters ideal for scuba divers and snorkelers. It’s worth it to take a short boat trip from these shores to the national wildlife refuge around Desecheo Island, known for its assortment of colorful angelfish.
