Rincon

Rincon is Puerto Rico’s surf capital, and some even say that it’s the surf capital of the entire Caribbean. The big waves surrounding this surf town are the reason why you’ll see so many travelers with surfboards in tow at the island’s airport. 

Rincon isn’t just home to PR’s biggest and most consistent waves, but also to the best surf camps and schools on the island. The laidback atmosphere here makes a day off from the water just as fun as you hop from beach bar to beach bar or just hang out on the beach.
