Any would be surfers out there that will be here in Puerto Rico between February 22 to 24, should consider heading west to Rincon. The APSPR Corona Extra Pro Surf Circuit will be holding their latest event at Domes Beach, Rincon.
The beach gets its name from the old nuclear power station’s dome shape (it’s closed now), just north of Rincon lighthouse. At this time of year, waves can be any where from 2 to 15 feet. It is one of the best known beaches for surfing and back in 1968, the World Championship was held there and Fred Hemmings came out on top.
The APSPR Corona Extra Pro Surf Circuit event is one of the biggest to visit Puerto Rico and with $15,000 in prize money; it will attract a lot of great surfers.
Don’t worry if surfing is not you thing, with the event in town, Rincon is going to be buzzing (so if you are looking for something a little quieter, may be check out Cabo Roja).
Don’t forget, that February is also one of the best times to Whale watch here in Puerto Rico; so why not combine them both together.

We’ll probably check this out this weekend, along with the whale-watching. I think that you might have missed an event, but there was an sky-jumping/parachuting show last week in Arecibo. If you wanted to, you could take a lesson and tandem jump with someone. We didn’t…maybe next year, but it was fun just to go out there and see folks do it. Of course, there were food vendors. I enjoyed some delicious “parcha” ice-cream.
It’s an annual event, I believe. Check out the site - xtremedivers.com, which I found on travelandsports.com/ev.htm

We checked it out today. Pretty cool! There were lots of people out there, man. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see any whales to go along with surfers. Definitely a great place to go and enjoy the beach, the surfing action and, as always, the food and drink.
