This is one of our favorite beaches! Located in Rincon's Marina, which has a small boat landing, restaurants, and a beach where calm waters permit great swimming and paddle boarding year-round. The Marina is also where most dive tours, sail tours and fishing expeditions depart. There are plenty of shady spots to set up camp. El Ancla is right on the beach, where you can get food and drinks.

La Parguera is an idyllic seaside destination found in Puerto Rico's southwestern region. In the town's main square, you will find a lively atmosphere filled with food kiosks, live music, and beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea. Unlike the rest of the seaside destinations found around the island, La Parguera doesn't have any beaches; instead, it is surrounded by pristine cays. You can reach the cays by renting your very own small boat or arranging transportation with any of the local tour providers. Some of La Parguera's most visited cays are Cayo Enrique, Mata La Gata, and Cayo Caracoles. One of the island's three bioluminescent bays is also located at La Parguera.
