Rincón's beach is a landmark destination with a rich surfing history and cultural significance dating back to the 1960s. The newly developed trails serve as a conservation effort to prevent sedimentation and protect the marine ecosystem, including the stunning coral reefs. While the beach boasts breathtaking views and stunning sunsets, visitors must exercise caution due to the presence of rocks and sea urchins.

This beach is an ideal spot for surfing enthusiasts, boasting some truly impressive right-hand waves. Depending on your timing, the waves can be quite large, but they offer plenty of space for long rides and plenty of opportunities to show off your skills. If you're looking to rent equipment for the day, there are several rental shops in the area that can provide you with everything you need.
