Sandy Beach in Rincon is a beautiful spot on the west side of Puerto Rico. It’s a great place to visit, especially if you’re a surfer because that’s what it’s known for. This really isn’t a beach to go and have a swim at; it’s mostly just to go walk around, see people surfing or even catch a competition. However, there are many thing to do around it. Great places to shop and amazing food. There’s even a raw oyster bar you could try (I didn’t dare, but my brother went for it and said they weren’t bad).
Rincón is famous for being a surfer’s haven. However, it wasn’t always considered to be. It wasn’t until 1968 surfing got popularized in the island, after the World Surfing Championship took place here. People started going to Rincón’s beaches because they were considered, and still are, great for surfing because of their 20-feet tall waves. Since then, surfing has spread throughout Puerto Rico and the Caribbean alike. Rincón is even considered to be the surfing capital of the Caribbean and draws surfers from all over to come here looking for great waves to surf.
