The Rincón Lighthouse, known as “El Faro,” stands as an iconic landmark and must-visit destination for tourists exploring Rincón for the first time. This historic structure offers not only breathtaking panoramic views but also the perfect spot for capturing memorable photographs and taking in the stunning surroundings. While the lighthouse itself is not usually open for interior tours, the experience of visiting this picturesque site and enjoying the cool sea breeze is one that shouldn’t be missed.
Throughout the winter season, specifically from January to March, with the peak occurring in February, the park transforms into a premier location for whale-watching. As the humpback whales migrate back to the North Atlantic each summer, they make their way past the Rincon coastline, making it a truly remarkable spectacle that adds an extra layer of enchantment to the coastal beauty of Rincon.
Stroll through the charming streets of downtown Rincón, where you’ll find colorful shops, art galleries, bars, and delicious local restaurants. On Thursday nights, you can’t miss the Art Walk, where lots of people gather around the town square to eat, drink local beer, and shop hand-crafted items from local artisans. The atmosphere gets really good, you can feel the vibrant community and it’s also kid-friendly.
Discover the beauty of Tres Palmas Marine Reserve, home to one of the healthiest and most extensive coral reefs in Puerto Rico. This protected area offers excellent snorkeling and hiking opportunities, whichever you prefer (or both!). It’s one of the best views in Rincón.
You can lace up your hiking boots or sneakers and explore the natural trails while soaking in the panoramic views of the coastline. Or you can also arrange a snorkeling diving trip to explore the underwater world of Rincón and dive into our diverse marine life.
