Nothing beats a small surf town vibe, especially when it’s in Rincón; a Puerto Rican region world-famous for its surfing. While there are several stretches of coastline worth exploring here (including Sandy Beach and Maria’s Beach), Domes is particularly well-liked for its big waves and pristine sunbathing opportunities. The beach gets its name from a white dome-shaped structure that was once a nuclear facility built in the 1960s.
