The best views of Puerto Rico come from the water. Watching the palms
sway, seeing horseback riders galloping along the beach, and eyeing
lighthouses as they stand tall, sending their beacon of light over the
ocean waters. This is especially true if you’re on a board surfing
Rincon. Called the “Caribbean Pipeline,” surfers from America, Europe,
and South America flock to the western tip of Puerto Rico to glide atop
the consistently large swell at spots like Maria’s, a monstrous reef
break.

The problem with Rincon was always the crime. Come back from a
morning of surfing and your room is broken into. So it’s a joy to
finally find a place that’s not only safe, clean, and serves delicious
local food (included in the price), but is owned by a world-class
Brazilian surfer. Roger Wagner’s six-bedroom villa, Surf 787,
is perched on a hillside with water views just west of town. Depending
on your level of expertise, he’ll guide you to the best surf spots
within a 40-minute drive. Or you can venture out on your own,
especially in the early morning hours when the local contingent of
surfers are usually sleeping in after hitting the bars. December to
April is the best time to surf Rincon. Check out the surf report, grab a flight into Aguadilla, and you could be on the water today! Visit ActiveTravels.
