Playa Rincón
A crescent-shaped white-sand beach about 3 km long at the northeast tip of the peninsula. Coconut palms line it and the water glows turquoise, making it one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.
Playa Rincón lies on the edge of Cabo Cabrón National Park. Its roughly 3 km of white sand curves around the bay like a crescent, backed by broad groves of coconut palms. Development is minimal, with just a few simple seafood shacks, where grilled fish and lobster are the specialties. At the western end of the beach, a small river flows down from the hills (Caño Frío). Its cool water meets the sea here, making it a lovely spot for a dip. The beach is about 20 minutes’ drive from Las Galeras, or you can reach it by boat. Many visitors join day trips from Las Terrenas, a drive of about an hour.
