If you are planning a trip to Rincon, Puerto Rico in March or April or are thinking of coming, there are plenty of things to do and see!  Of course March is prime time for good surf, waves have been great and very consistent all season, we are looking forward to more great Rincon surfing in March.

 

The whales are here!  If you enjoy seeing these amazing animals offshore, breaching and flipping their tails, Rincon has a few great spots to see them:  The El Faro (lighthouse) Park is an ideal location to relax and see the whales, offering beautiful views and comfortable benches.  Tamboo Bar and Grill has a large beachfront deck where whales can be seen while enjoying lunch or a cocktail, and of course most beaches have great views of the whales, but best to be  a bit higher.

 The Corona Pro at Domes beach is an annual surf contest held in Rincon at Domes or Marias Beach, held this year March 3-4, with some of the best surfers from the Caribbean and Florida competing.   Bring your beach chairs and find a spot early as it is a very popular event!
