Rincón Beaches

Familiar in some circles for its great waves, this sleepy but increasingly well-known town, on the western coast, has everything from the super trendy (read: craft beer brewery) to the ultra traditional. The best family-friendly swimming beaches are Playa Marina (on the Marina), Playa Córcega and Playa Almirante. Good surfing beaches include Domes, Maria's, Pools and Tres Palmas.
