Domes, Tres Palmas
The west corner of Puerto Rico. Rincon is Domes, Maria's, and Tres Palmas, a string of points that light up on a north swell. The town is still a town. Tres Palmas is a reserve. The sunset is the other reason people stay.
When.
October to March
North swell in winter. The points share the same pulse and split the crowd.

Worth knowing.
- 1. Domes is the easy look by the old nuclear plant. Maria's is next. Tres Palmas is the heavier reserve.
- 2. Tres Palmas is a marine reserve. No taking, no trash. The reef is the point.
- 3. Winter is the window. Summer is smaller, still fun on a leftover, not why you flew.
- 4. The town has the beds and the food. The points are a short drive from each other.
Go.
