2) Playa Rincón
This is the more well-known beach in the area. An easy 20km drive from Las Galeras, you’ll easily find a decent stretch of this beach completely vacant. I had the best advice from a local before I went. He said, “When you’re facing the beach, if you take a left, you’ll find big fish for small price. If you go right, you’ll find small fish for big price.”
Locals hang out on the left side, tourists hang out on the right side.
On your way back from Playa Rincón, you’ll drive past a large selection of produce displayed on the right side of the road. If you check it out and meet the shop owner, you might be able to try some chocolate and coffee. She’ll take you around her home to show you where she makes the chocolate and coffee. Everything is made in her backyard. A perfect place to check out on your way back from the beach.
