Crazy how you read my mind. I have watched all of your videos and use them anytime I travel. Im headed to PR and Rincon in two weeks and was complaining that no one had a great video about it. Now here you are lol.
Yes, we went there as a family in June, '94. Two of my relatives from Ohio moved there for the last years of their lives, and just chilled. Had a house right by the beach. I was 19 at the time. We got to drink beers so that was great. Weather was great as well as the surf. Not a surfer and never have been. But PR in general is beautiful. Great people there as well!
I'm a local and we do not refer to North America as "mainland". The colony status is a huge thorn on our backsides. Please try using Spanish. We welcome everyone, but we appreciate efforts to learn about our culture and our small country. Please remind tourists to keep our beaches clean.

My Rincon Favorites as a local: Breakfast: Cafe 413 Dinner: Taquería Vatos Locos Domes Beach - Surfing and chil Steps Beach - Snorqueling Lighthouse - See the sunset and wale watching.
The reason why there's so many English speaking things, is because the U.S (mainland), has given the U.S citizens tax breaks to purchase land/houses/condos/etc, meanwhile the citizens of Puerto Rico, cannot afford to purchase houses/land/condos/etc., and no they don't get the same tax breaks.
As a Puerto Rican who took a trip here, I can tell you, it can be hard to get a relaxing beach vacation here. The beaches in Rincon have pretty strong waves. Great for surfing. Bathing, not so much.
Wintertime ->January - March the waves are up- then you surf 🏄♀️ but you can almost always swim at the public beach. summertime is great for swimming ❤
My first time in Puerto Rico, I spend the majority of my time on the North part of the island. Rincon will definitely be the next place I will be staying!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED RINCON!! It was so peaceful! My family rented a house in the neighborhood. We literally were steps from the beach. We had the beach to ourselves since the closest resort was far down the beach. The food was also AMAZING!! I wish I could remember the name of the restaurant we ate at. It took a bit longer but it was the freshest seafood & delicious. I went in 2010

Glad to see you visited the Rincon Boricua! We love that place, but deff gotta be ready for island time. Plenty of time to walk up to the Ricomini bakery! Yum!
I lived on the Beach Rincon puerto Rico 🇵🇷 in 1971 for many years and learned how to surf 🏄♂️ at Antonio's Beach and Maria's with 🌴 Palm Groves and Sugarcane fields ot was peaceful then I have roots in that area of Mayaguez after Maria's hurricane hit I went on a trip back and couldn't believe how much it's changed concrete jungle has taken over
Randomly watching this video and I see my brother driving back from work lol. Good video. Rincon is nice but the prices are high. Aguada is right next to it and has some nice hidden gems.
Absolutely love your video I haven't been there since 2005 and now I get to go as an adult for a girls trip and this was the most useful information I found so far
Iam Puerto Rican living in Chicago and will be spending a month in Puerto Rico this winter. Thank you for the video of Rincón as that’s where I’m headed and thank you for mentioning some of our authentic Puerto Rican dishes: We eat arroz con habichuelas or gandules( beans or pigeon peas), lechón, mofongo,pasteles (root vegetable n meat pie wrapped in banana leaf),pastelillos(aka empanadas),alcapurrias, Tostones(green fried plantains) and Maduros (ripe sweet fried plantains) to name a few. If you come to Puerto Rico to experience our culture, these are the foods you should be eating or trying. Pls, Pls don’t come to PR looking for tacos and burritos, go to Mexico for that. We sell tacos n burritos because that’s what ppl know as Hispanic food, and so we offer it but that is NOT PR food. Pls pass that on Walter. Love your videos!
I'm from the Missouri and visited Puerto Rico for the first time this summer and stayed in Rincon which was a great experience for me. After our trip, I've grown addicted to sweet fried plantain, seafood mofongos, and Ok Champagne Kola soda. I miss it there already 😢
It is dirty. Yes the emissions are water vapor and it is clean but the nuclear waste is dirty as hell for 100 of 100 of 100 of years. Nuclear waste are buried or cover in cement to dump it in the deep ocean. That plant in specific were closed 3 years after opened due radiation leak, then were cover with cement just like chernobyl to minimize the radiation leak, BTW still leaking.
With regards to car rentals at the airport it may sound obvious but don’t forget to make reservations way in advance specially during the busy season (e.g. Christmas) as it is not uncommon to not be able to find rentals one week ahead of your trip let alone trying to book upon arrival as I have seen some people do.
Moving to Isabela in July so I have watched literally TONS of PR videos and not one person besides you have mentioned the red lights. I was totally unaware! Thanks!
@@SoyYoElMejorAmigo Yes your right about that but it's not so much of a big deal to go & get any other kind of meat!! Hey when you're by yourself on the dunes or the beach just take what you need.
@@SoyYoElMejorAmigo No I'm a Texan and yes in the state to my right 🐢 soup is... A delicacy?? It is tasty but just like. redfish we should calm ourselves about catching those turtles!
I moved from Rincón in 1984. Specifically Barrio Rio Grande. Selling my vote or succumbing to office politics isn’t my thing, so I moved. Now retired from corrections and living in Florida.
@@woltersworld I am a local fully bilingual but love to challenge the "mainlanders" to speak Spanish. Just you know so they can have fun while in the island.
FYI Rincon is one of the, if not, the most gentrified areas out of all Puerto Rico. It's filled predominantly with white Americans. It's English speaking, the only place on the island were they celebrate the 4th of July. If you want to have a Puerto Rico experience with out Puerto Ricans, but instead with white Americans Rincon is the place for you!!! Literally it feels like a Mini Florida. Enjoy (G)rincon as us Puerto Ricans call it!!!!!!

Bienvenido a usted y a todos los norteamericanos que nos quieran visitar, de hecho orgullosamente somos parte de USA....Espero que disfruten su estadía 🇵🇷🇺🇲
It's more expensive because of the gentrification and many Americans illegally buying property or taking advantage of my people in Puerto Rico. Everything has to be shipped from the USA. Prices are 3 times higher.
Thank you right on time do me a favor no blasting reggeton on crash boat beach all of your college students go home and again please go see your family
Don’t go to Rincon and bring a Unitedstatesian attitude… the culture has changes so much since extremely entitled people from the states started coming in larger numbers. Just gross

I was at Rincon just two days ago. We had such an amazing time. Definitely worth to visit we stayed at villa cofresi it was lovely

Steps Beach - Snorqueling

Greetings. You don't know of any houses that are selling in Rincón that are small, low cost
La ancla I think it was? Was a great beach with bar and restaurant right on the water

Cowboys steak house in Rincon is one or the best steak house on the west coat of PR

PR doesn’t pay the US tax why give them tax breaks?
Not in Rincón, American have been moving to Rincón since 70s, had nothing to do with the Act 60.
Americans always been living in rincon
Here too north east coast people have bought homes and the locals can’t buy bc of the high prices.
Very true.
As a Puerto Rican who took a trip here, I can tell you, it can be hard to get a relaxing beach vacation here. The beaches in Rincon have pretty strong waves. Great for surfing. Bathing, not so much.
Playa Balneario (the location in his video) is almost always calm.
Barrero, Corcega, Villa Cofresi just to name a few! Always ask a local if you are looking for something. I grew up in Rincón and know every corner!😉
Wintertime ->January - March the waves are up- then you surf 🏄♀️ but you can almost always swim at the public beach.

Omg! The boys are so big!!
I know!!! It's scary sometimes

You can fly into san juan but you can fly into aguadilla too, which is closer to Rincon
Love your show - thank you!
I love that it says no dogs, and there is one in the background! :) Thank you so much for this informative video
Enjoy your stay Wolter!
My hometown, my mom house is so close to your site.👍
That place sounds awesome

Funny someone would think a nuclear plant would be dirty. One of the cleanest sources of energy currently.
It is dirty. Yes the emissions are water vapor and it is clean but the nuclear waste is dirty as hell for 100 of 100 of 100 of years. Nuclear waste are buried or cover in cement to dump it in the deep ocean. That plant in specific were closed 3 years after opened due radiation leak, then were cover with cement just like chernobyl to minimize the radiation leak, BTW still leaking.
Nuclear energy, not unlike Bikers, get a bad rep that is not backed up with facts. Both are safe and not to be feared.
Glad that you like the island I'm from Vega Baja Puerto Rico and love your videos keepnit up with the great content
I love that the sign says no dogs allowed, and it cuts to a guy playing with his dog in the beach.

What a nice inviting video 😁
Wolter, next time, do a road trip around Puerto Rico and live through the "chinchorreo" experience. Eating will be cheaper and better!
try to visit Luquillo beach and Fajardo they are on the East of PR
Want always to be there 💕 it where my mom was born raised along with family beautiful 😍 sites
If you want cheaper restaurants you can find them in Aguada and Añasco (the 2 neighboring towns)
And, in El Campo- countryside, anywhere.
My town, the best on the whole island!!!!
I hear a lot of people having issues with the water and electricity in Rincon. It's constant..
Nice video walter go to boquerón cabo rojo lots of tourist go there from all over the island and the u.s mainland.
you call them mainlanders ? We still a colony I know that !!! be respectful with the locals even if we decide to keep our Spanish language.
I will talk about this in the donts of PR video
@@woltersworld I am a local fully bilingual but love to challenge the "mainlanders" to speak Spanish. Just you know so they can have fun while in the island.

Rincon is mostly white Americans now. They took over.
That's wrong. There is Spanish everywhere- we live here. And, it is as it should be.

If you don't want drive stay in Isla Verde or Old San Juan...

even nascar tracks only max out at 31° angles of banking
Do I have to fly into San Juan or is there another place to fly in and grab a rental car that is closer?
You can fly into Aguadilla. Nice small airport.
Is there still the "Puerto Rican Liberation Army"? Like in the 1970ties?
Maybe... but the consumer culture of the metropolis has dulled the radicalism of the independence movement. Take that for what it's worth.
It's more expensive because of the gentrification and many Americans illegally buying property or taking advantage of my people in Puerto Rico. Everything has to be shipped from the USA. Prices are 3 times higher.
I am a gringa and we aren't doing those things. We don't want special treatment- we don't own a property. Btw, hubby is Puerto Rican.
It is not a two hour drive. Three to four hours
Was at Playa Sardineras today in Isabela and I pucked up 10 cans left on the beach by locals.... Not tourists!!!
Nice sharing 👌👍
Good luck my dear friend ❤️
