Surfing
Rincon is well known as a place to surf. What put Rinc�n on the map was the 1968 World Surfing Championship, held at Domes and Maria's Beaches. The winter surf along Rinc�n's coast is some of the best in the region. Generally regarded as one of the best surf spots across the globe, Rinc�n draws surfers from around the world. Rinc�n is the center of the island surf scene. Dubbed the "Caribbean's Hawaii," winter waves here can approach 25�30 feet (6.7m) in height, sometimes equaling the force of the surf on Oahu's north shore. Famed surfing beaches in town include Little Malibu, Tres Palmas, Maria's, Indicators, Domes, Pools, Sandy Beach and Antonio's. The best time to surf is from November through March, but summer storms can also kick up the surf during the late summer.
