E-mail pageRincón & the Puerto del Sol
The jagged coastline of the Porta del Sol is known for its world-class surfing. There are awe-inspiring waves around Aguadilla and Isabella, but these towns are still being discovered by travelers. Most surfers still head to Rincón, where dozens of beaches beckon those who hanker to hang ten. The place is a magnet for expats, so expect to run into a lot of gringos. The region known as Cabo Rojo, on the southwestern coast, attracts families, who pack the open-air terraces at seafood shacks along the beach at Joyuda. Flights to the airports at Aguadilla and Mayagüez make this regions a quick and easy trip from the northeastern United States.
