Puerto Rico - Rincon & West Coast (PDF Chapter)

This is the Rincón & West Coast chapter from Lonely Planet’s Puerto Rico guide-book.

West is best – at least as far as those quintessential snapshots of Puerto Rico go. Here the azure ocean assumes a visceral palpability because this is the place to get in it: paddling to catch a ride on one perfect wave after another, or swimming off sandy strands that regularly grace ‘world’s best beach’ lists.

• surf beside beach bums and vacationing businessmen on the legendary breaks here in Rincón
• maps
• get giddy on Sangria de Fido, the local punch of Mayagüez at the Sangria Garden
• transport
• hire a bike at the west’s best bike shop in Boquerón, then pedal the beach-hugging byways of the Cabo Rojo area
• restaurants & accommodation

Coverage includes: Rincón, Mayagüez, Cabo Rojo Area, Playa de Joyuda, Boquerón, El Combate, Refugio Nacional Cabo Rojo, San Germán, Isla Mona, When to Go, Best Places to Sleep.
