Rincon is best known for two things—surfing and sunsets. Beaches are small (meaning no huge resort beaches) and no matter how much of a Type-A personality you are, Rincon’s laid-back attitude and leisurely pace will soon win you over.

Find a maritime museum and dolphin-spotting platform at this lighthouse in Rincon.
After a day of visiting 3 different beaches in Rincon, we wanted to catch the sunset and get pictures of the El Faro lighthouse. It was not difficult to find using google maps and there's plenty of free parking. Near the lighthouse entrance was a lady selling jewelry for good prices so I bought a few gifts there. The landscaping around the lighthouse and park area is beautiful and there are benches, gazebos and photo ops all around. The bar area overlooks Domes beach below. The prices are decent and it was nice to enjoy a mojito and watch the sunset and the waves below. On this particular night there was live music. We enjoyed out stop here. Check it out and enjoy.

Also known as Rincon Lighthouse or El Faro de Punta Higuero. No admission & lots of parking. It was a nice drive with some hilly narrow roads about 4km from the turn off of Hwy 115. The lighthouse is surrounded by a small park. It’s clean with lots of trees and places to sit. The lighthouse is made of concrete - 70 ft high. You cannot go up the lighthouse. The lighthouse is not the original one. It was rebuilt after it got damaged by an earthquake and then razed it years later after fire damaged. There’s also the Ola Sunset Cafe that’s a good spot to watch the sunset and the surfers on Domes Beach which is close to the lighthouse.

Absolutely one of our favorite beaches in Rincon! Some days see amazing surf, some days see calm conditions perfect for bathing. If you don’t like the conditions one day, wait a day and they will change. Great beach for laying out. Hopping bars and restaurants line the charming little neighborhood that surround the beach. As long as high N/NE winds aren’t in the forecast, this is the beach to go to!

Domes Beach is commonly known by its waves. Located next to the Boiling Nuclear Superheater Reactor Facility and Punta Higuero Lighthouse built in 1892. International surfing competitions take place here.
Weather your on the beach or at the light house watching the surfers at sundown, this is a great spot, often the waves are smaller and you can go play in them, unlike a lot of other beaches in Rincon. Though if your in Rincon you are probably surfing anyways. But i love this beach! Large amount of sand here!

Great place for pictures. Even better for snorkeling! I grew up snorkeling at the steps and is one of the best spots in the area. The place is protected as a marine reserve (thank God). The entrance to the reserve is a very narrow road. People park on one side of the road and is very common for people to find their vehicle has been scratched or dented. If you go, you need to take your picture at the steps. They have been there for many years. There is also a food truck at the end of the road.

Came here from San Juan. It’s the perfect area because it has multiple activities. There were places to eat, options to do water activities and just hang on the beach.

Some of the best off the shore snorkeling I have ever done. The abundance and size of elkhorn coral, less than 100 feet off the shore in shallow, clear water is amazing. As you swim out the reef is more typical, with fan, brain and soft coral. Plenty of marine life. This is more of a snorkeling beach than a swim beach.
