Rincon Beach Travel Tips

By Linda Samuel

  • Sail away on the Katarina, a 32-foot catamaran. Depart early for snorkel and swim stops or watch the sun set, drink in hand, aboard an evening cruise.
  • Ride horseback on tropical trails through magnificent Almond Tree Forest.
  • Fly high over Rincon on a parasailing adventure—air time is 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Stay at a small, affordable hotel. Lodging is always available.


Rincon Travel Guide

North of Mayagüez, on the westernmost point of the island, lies the small fishing village of Rincón, in the foothills of La Cadena mountains. It's not a sightseeing destination unto itself, but surfers from as far away as New Zealand say the area's reef-lined beaches, off Route 2 between Mayagüez and Rincón, are the best in the Caribbean. Surfers are particularly attracted to Playa Higüero, the beach at Punta Higüero, on Route 413, which ranks among the finest surfing spots in the world. During winter, uninterrupted swells from the North Atlantic form perfect waves, averaging 5 feet to 6 feet (1.5m-1.8m) in height, with ridable rollers sometimes reaching 15 feet to 25 feet (4.5m-7.5m).
