Walk to all west side surf breaks. The Surfrider Foundation picked Maria's Beach #3 on their top ten list. They said it could possibly be America's best-kept surfing secret. Not ready for the big one? No problem, Surf lessons and rentals are available locally.
Located right in front of the house is Reserva Marina Tres Palmas. Home to one of the largest elkhorn coral populations in the Caribbean, where you can snorkel with endangered turtles. For scuba, take a day trip to Desecheo Island, a wildlife preserve just offshore, that offers world class diving.
You can walk to town, restaurants, marina and dive shop from the house where you can also find deep sea and local fishing charters. At the point is Punta Higuero Lighthouse, home to Rincon's whale watching park and a perfect place to view the surfing at Domes and Indicators beaches.
Maybe you just want to relax on the beach under a palm tree or stroll for miles looking for shells and beach glass. Nearby you can hike, bike or horseback ride. Take a day trip to the rain forest, caves, Rum factory or maybe just go shopping.
Nighttime brings Reggae and Calypso music, happy hours, relaxed dining or maybe even a little Casino action in nearby Mayaguez.

Map & Owner's Profile
Beach House - Casa Palmas - Rincon, Puerto Rico
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Rincon
We have always loved the Ensenada area of Rincon because it's the perfect spot to be close to all the best surf breaks on the West/Southside or Carribean Sea side of the Point. The nicest local people you will ever meet. A quiet, family neighborhood, plus walking distance to great restaurants, the dive shop and even town. Our side of the Point tends to be less windy than the Northside, yet always offers a nice breeze.
The Unique Benefits at this Beach House features 2 Villas
The Tres Palmas Marine Reserve is right out in front of the house! This protected area off of Steps Beach offers fabulous snorkeling! See endangered turtles, sometimes dolphin and whale sightings.

Owner's Map of Rincon
We have been coming to Rincon to surf & vacation since 1977. After exploring locales from the Bahamas to Europe & Hawaii to Australia, nowhere do we feel so relaxed & at home as in Rincon. Having grown up on & around the ocean & raising our family on Cape Cod, we cherish every moment we spend in this magical place. We hope you can come discover & enjoy as well!
