It is situated on the coast of the Caribbean Sea, and it is known for having some of the best surfing spots in the Caribbean. These include Domes, Marias, Tres Palmas, Sandy Beach, and Pools Beach.  

We previously visited Rincon on 12/26/2005.  While there, we visited the Domes Beach and the Punta Higuero Lighthouse.

On 9/14/2023, we checked into the Rincon Beach Resort for a two night stay.  From here, we visited beaches and other sites from Isabela in the north to La Parguera in the south. It is conveniently located just north of Mayaguez and there are several nice restaurants nearby. We had planned to go snorkeling here but the water was too rough from a recent hurricane.

Rincon's beaches are also known for their calm waters, making them ideal for swimming and other water activities.
