Catch a Wave Rincon's shores are all the rage for baggy-clad board bearers from around the world, with dozens of breaks for surfers of all levels. See for yourself with a lesson from Rincon Surf School. Join a three-hour group lesson or get some one-on-one tips from a local expert. Once you've got a couple of crests under your belt, rent a board and head over to Domes Beach, site of the 1968 event, and where the Corona Extra Pro Circuit stops annually.Eric Boneske

Catch A Bite Get beached for your morning sesh at La Rosa Inglesa, a hilltop B&B with surfer fare like breakfast burritos and huevos rancheros. Come lunch-time, head to Shipwreck Bar & Grill, an open-air restaurant off Rincon's palm tree-lined Route 413. If you've spent your day hitting the heavies at Maria's Beach, then dry off with a drink at the Calypso Cafe. Just a few steps from the beach and packed with surfers at happy hour, the laid-back bar is the best spot in Rincon to watch the sunset.Eric Boneske
