8 Miles of BEACHES in Rincon Puerto Rico
No matter where
you stay... Rincon has beaches everywhere and for everyones
needs!
We know that one of the biggest reasons you travel thousands of miles
to visit the Caribbean its our beaches! Rincon is on the west coast of
Puerto Rico.
Rincon is not the type of resort destination that has one long 'beach
strip' lined with resort hotels, tourist shops and traffic.
Rincon's beaches are smaller, their more intimate beaches that each
have their own personality and activities. Rincon's beaches consist of:
tourist beaches, surfing beaches, sunning beaches and secluded beaches.
What's best about Rincon's beaches is that we have them all that cover
more than 8 miles and none of the beaches are private! All of the
beaches in Puerto Rico are open to the public, so you can enjoy the
action in front of the resorts or find a side street that provides
access to less crowded beaches away from the hotels.
Although the Caribbean Beaches are great for swimming - there are no
lifeguards in Rincon or Puerto Rico, so make sure to supervise children
on the beach.
There are many beaches in Rincon Puerto Rico, you may want to choose a
special beach that matches your own personality and needs - but you
might want to explore them all... so plan to stay a few extra days if
you're the type of traveler who just loves beaches!
When the surf isn't up in Rincon, this beach is almost completely empty
- so if you want to have 'private beach' for a romantic stroll or
complete relaxation, this may be a good choice during the 'off season'.
During the summer, the beach changes character and becomes a great
place to enjoy the sun, sand and a typical Caribbean day at the beach.
If you want to relax, go on a weekday and you'll have the beach pretty
much to yourself. On weekends this is a very popular local beach and it
becomes very busy with lots of fun-loving families having picnics and
turning the beach into one big party. This is especially true in July
when all of Puerto Rico goes on vacation and our Public Beach is packed
every day of the week!

1. Just a short walk down the
beach to Little Malibu-Marias Beach
Rincon PR.
2. Walking onto Steps Beach your confronted with these steps, dont know
where the
house went? I Think thats why
they named it Steps Beach. Also, Great Place to go
snorkeling if you bring your
mask, if not you can rent one per day or buy a cheap
one and have it your whole
trip. After your done with your vacation, leave it in
the guesthouse that your
renting, thats what some of our vacationers do.
3. Looking south at Steps Beach, Rincon Puerto Rico.
"Rincon" is home of the "BEST" waves in the Caribbean and for that
matter in "PUERTO RICO". The waves are as blue as one can imagine and
crash just overhead at about 7 feet/2 meters, with some bigger sets
rolling in. And there are breaks all over the place: Maria's,
Indicator, Domes, The Point, Tres Palmas, Steps, Dog Man's to name a
few.
When people think of Rincon, surfing is often what comes to mind. While
Rincon beaches all have great surfing - the wildest waves break where
the Atlantic meets the Caribbean.
While the winter season shows off the 'wild side' of surfing in Rincon-
the rest of the year our beaches calm down and become secludes
hideaways for romantic strolls, snorkeling and enjoying a relaxing day
at the beach. And you can't visit Rincon without seeing the most famous
sunsets in Puerto Rico!
This is a great area for collecting shells and getting away from it
all. One of the most recognized names in Rincon - Domes
beach is named for the dome of the old nuclear plant on one of the most
famous surfing beaches in the world. The dome is being converted into a
Science Center and Museum - so don't worry about any rays emitted from
the dome - but bring plenty of sun screen if you plan to spend a day on
the beach! To get to Domes Beach, drive past the Lighthouse Park and
look for the whale-shaped beach marker. This is also a great place for
whale watching in winter and is almost empty in summer if you want to
have a beach all to yourself!

Rinc�n Lighthouse & Park
You can't visit Rincon without at least one visit to the lighthouse and
well maintained park. During the winter season you can watch surfers
and whales from the walk that runs along the top of the cliffs. From
the Rincon's lighthouse you get great views of Domes Beach to the right
and Indicators Beach to the left as you look out toward Desecheo
Island. Just below the lighthouse is one of the most famous surfing
breaks in Rincon - known as "Deadman's" for the nasty rocks jutting out
from the cliffs which mean trouble if a wave brings you in that
direction. You can see it if you look right down from the lighthouse
park for the rock that looks like Christopher Columbus's head.

Desecheo Island: You will see this mysterious island from
almost
everywhere in Rincon - but the view is especially impressive from the
Rincon Lighthouse Park. Desecheo Island is a closed protected
environmental reserve which can only be visited with special permission
for scientific research. Located about 12 miles off the coast of
Rincon, Desecheo has some of the best SCUBA diving in Puerto Rico. Even
though you can't actually step foot on the island - you can get 'up
close' if you visit with one of the Dive Shops which are permitted to
visit dive sites off-shore. If you don't dive, check with the Dive
Shops and see if they have any space for snorkelers. Desecheo Island
has very clear waters that make it great for snorkelers in the shallow
areas just off the coast.
