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).
