A review of this place: Nice little town
I stayed here for 5 days. It’s very rural; fun place with a surfer/local population. Good if you want to get away from everything for a while.

The last time I went to this place
One of the Most Amazing places ive ever been. My Aunt lives 4 miles away from Rin Con, she lives in Aguada. I loved that the beach was so close, I loved the ocean there the most. Even better then crash boat. The waves here are amazing. I went surfing for my first time here. I did step on a Sea Urchin lol, its all good. Its even a great place to snorkle when the waves are down. I got amazing pictures from here and honestly cant wait to go back. The people are laid back and friendly. You cant beat Rincon.

Introduction to Rincon
November 20, 2006
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). The best snorkeling is at a beach gringos have labeled "Steps." The waters here are more tranquil than at the beaches attracting surfers. Steps lies right off Route 413, just north of the center of Rincón.
