 More About Rincon

 Rincon Puerto Rico has been welcoming visitors since 1770, although many believe that Columbus paid us a brief visit in 1493. Local legends tell about the Pirate Cofresí and of his hidden treasure, which could still be buried in our shores and hills. Indeed, Spanish treasure has been found in the clear shallow waters and in the hills of Rincon. 

 During the late 1950's, Sea Beach Colony, a quaint collection of beach bungalows and streamline trailers, was the first Rincon Puerto Rico vacation resort. In 1968, Rincon Puerto Rico became the surfing capital of the world, attracting young visitors from all over the world, to participate in an international surfing competition. The number of visitors exceeded all expectations and there was hardly enough lodging to accommodate them all, so in accordance with the times, many camped out on the beaches. Today, Rincon Puerto Rico has become a great place for an ocean getaway holiday.

 Rincon's fine vacation rentals and lodging accommodations include resorts, hotels, guest houses, inns, condo apartments and five-star oceanfront suites with private pools. Besides surfing competitions, Rincon hosts triathlons, marathons, music festivals and many other events.
