How To Have The Ultimate Surf Weekend In Rincon Puerto Rico
Catch a Wave Rincon's shores are all the rage for baggy-clad board bearers from around the world, with dozens of breaks for surfers of all levels. See for yourself with a lesson from Rincon Surf School. Join a three-hour group lesson or get some one-on-one tips from a local expert. Once you've got a couple of crests under your belt, rent a board and head over to Domes Beach, site of the 1968 event, and where the Corona Extra Pro Circuit stops annually. | Eric Boneske

Since hosting the world surfing championship in 1968, Rincon, Puerto Rico, has solidified its spot as the Caribbean's hottest place to hang ten.
Catch A Bite Get beached for your morning sesh at La Rosa Inglesa, a hilltop B&B with surfer fare like breakfast burritos and huevos rancheros. Come lunch-time, head to Shipwreck Bar & Grill, an open-air restaurant off Rincon's palm tree-lined Route 413. If you've spent your day hitting the heavies at Maria's Beach, then dry off with a drink at the Calypso Cafe. Just a few steps from the beach and packed with surfers at happy hour, the laid-back bar is the best spot in Rincon to watch the sunset. | Eric BoneskeCatch Some ZZZS Book a room at the Horned Dorset Primavera, a swank 16-room Spanish colonial-style boutique. Or lay your longboard where the surfers do boy scoring an affordable beachfront room at Tamboo Beside the Pointe, a no-frills hotel located directly on Sandy Beach – a break popular for its soft, sandy bottom and long "lefts," which peel down the reef. All nine rooms have air conditioning (phew!), but rooms 6,7 and 8 boast private outdoor balconies with awesome ocean views. Bonus: Tamboo Tavern serving cheap drinks until 2 a.m. on weekends,is right downstairs. | Eric Boneske
