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.
