Rincon is located on the west coast of Puerto Rico and is best known for its surfing. Domes Beach is the most well known beach to surf. Sandy Beach is a very beautiful and accessible beach. I recommend getting a room near Sandy Beach, so you may walk there easily. Tamboo bar and grill is also located on Sandy Beach and has a nice atmosphere and deck overlooking the beach. Rincon also has a nice farmer’s market on Sunday mornings with prepared food, produce, and arts and crafts.
Rincón traces its history to the 16th century and a few low-key sugarcane plantations. And while many people believe it gets its name from the Spanish word rincón (corner) because of its shape, the municipality is actually named after one of the area’s original planters, Don Gonzalo Rincón. For most of its history, the town survived on cane farming and cattle raising.
Things changed when the World Surfing Championships arrived in 1968. Glossy images of Rincón were plastered all over international magazines and TV – and the word was out. Every year since then has seen successive generations of wave riders make the pilgrimage. And while they pursued an endless summer, they began to invest in the community, building their own restaurants, guesthouses and bars.
Envy for the beaches. Smiles at the two straws. Gratitude that you get to experience this. Patience till you return. Blessings prayed upon you!! Liz
Thank you, Liz! Love you! I will be coming home for two weeks on March 29th.
