Rincón

Fodor's Review:

Jutting out into the ocean along the rugged western coast, Rincón, meaning "corner" in Spanish, may have gotten its name because of how it is nestled in a corner of the coastline. The town jumped into the surfing spotlight after hosting the World Surfing Championship in 1968. Although the beat here picks up from October through April, when the waves are the best, Rincón, basically laid back and unpretentious, is seeing a lot of development. If you visit between December and February you might get a glimpse of the humpback whales that winter off the coast. Because of its unusual setting, Rincón's layout can be a little disconcerting. The main road, Route 413, loops around the coast, and many beaches and sights are on dirt roads intersecting it.
