Playa Rincon, located in Las Galeras, is ranked among the ten most beautiful beaches in the world for its natural conditions and beautiful, striking surroundings. Access is not easy and is better by sea than by road, but the scenery is well worth the effort.
It consists of several long and slightly curved coves that extend about 3 km, with fine white sand, dense palm and coconut groves as well as various shades of water. Seaweed and driftwood provide a rustic and unspoiled air.
