Rincón Getting there & around

Getting around

Now for the bummer: Rincón – despite its mantle as an ‘alternative’ beach haven – has little provision for nonmotorized transport. Perhaps all the references to ’49 Chevy’s and vintage ‘woodies’ in erstwhile Beach Boys’ songs have been taken a bit too literally. A spaced out community with minimal public transport, Rincón has few sidewalks and almost no facilities for bicycles (the nearest bike rental is in Aguadilla). The only reliable way to get around the area is by rented car, taxi, irregular públicos or – if you’re energetic and careful – walking. You will pay $18 or more for a taxi from either the Aguadilla or Mayagüez airports. Car rentals can also be found at both of these destinations or you can try Angelos (787-823-3438; Hwy 115 Km 12), in the town itself.
