After-Season Rincon is no longer the deserted beach town that it used to be, leaving the local population glad to be alone for a while and the innkeepers and restaurateurs pining for customers. In late March, we had Whale Fest, which was very well attended, especially by the dozens of Humpback Whales that put on quite a show on the very first day of the Festival. A poor-planning snag occurred when many were stuck in traffic on the most busy day, because of a beer company sponsored bicycle race being held at the same venue (in keeping with our policy of not supporting or advertising sports events geared towards youth that are sponsored by alcohol or tobacco, we won't mention the company). In April we had Earth Day and the first Rincon Film Festival. In May we had the first Rincon 5K Run. The rest of the Spring and early Summer has a lot more in store- then the island vacation season starts in July, with its three consecutive three-day weekends. Here's what's coming up:

Relevo Por La Vida means Relay For Life, comes back to Rincon after last year's very successful mega-fundraiser, starting at 12 Noon on May 17 at the Sports Center, running through the night and into the next day. Sponsored locally by the Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito de Rincón (the largest Credit Union in Puerto Rico), this event is part of a growing effort by the American Cancer Society to raise funds for cancer research, education and prevention. For more about this event and what it means to so many in Rincon, visit the new website that Rincon|Online has donated to the effort, RelevoPorLaVida.org.

The Rincon Triathlon runs for the 28th time, on June 8, at Balneario Beach. As Olympic fever for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games and the 2010 Central American and Caribbean Games in Mayaguez spreads, this year's triathlon will showcase how Rincon is gearing up to host the 2010 Games Triathlon event. The activities start at 7AM, so be sure to come early and don't forget to bring your camera. For more on this exciting event, visit the Rincon Triathlon website, PuertoRicoTriathlon.com.

A New Amapola Grows in Puntas. For years, we've watched how the hills in Puntas have become dotted with new and beautiful beach area homes. The newest one, Amapola House is a four-level vacation Villa, located on a ocean-view hillside near Sandy Beach, in the lush and beautiful Puntas Hills. One can enjoy the hillside breezes and stunning views from any of the three terrace levels of this brand-new vacation Villa, which is located on a quiet beach-access road, just minutes from the seashore. The interior is designer-decorated and contains family heirloom antiques and unseen historic photos of Old Rincon. Amapola House has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a sunset view veranda and a rooftop terrace with a jumbo spa tub that overlooks a vast nature preserve and the sea. The fourth bedroom suite is situated on its own level and offers a private bathroom, terrace, Wi-Fi and network outlet, flat screen TV with cable service, stereo with personal iPod connection, compact refrigerator, coffee-maker and a microwave oven. Located just minutes from the golden sand and pristine waters of Sandy Beach, this spacious, elegant Villa can comfortably accommodate an entire family or a large group of up to eight persons. For larger groups, an adjacent twin home is also available. With its construction just about completed, Amapola House is now accepting reservations for stays beginning in June, 2008 and is offering a special introductory rate of $950 per week to the first five confirmed reservations for stays in June, August and September of 2008. Visit the Amapola House website, AmapolaHouse.com and enjoy the video and pictures, while being serenaded by different versions of the Amapola song, including a killer surf guitar version.

The Pineapple Inn earns Kudos. Last year, The Pineapple Inn and its owners Nelson Santos and Mark Kelly won Puerto Rico Hotel Association “Green Small Hotel of the Year Award”.  The Inn’s rating was also upgraded. This year The Pineapple Inn took top honors at The Annual Puerto Rico Tourism Company Quality Awards Ceremony. The recognitions were in the following categories: Move Up on Hotel Star Category, Recognition Towards Sustainability, the Reception Service Award and the Major Progress in Service Award. The PRHTA rates its member Lodging Establishments on the basis of what they offer to vacationers. Swimming pools, Spa tubs, activities in the hotel or nearby, beach towels, walking sticks and beach chairs are some of the amenities that make a hotel eligible for a better rating. Of course, comfortable beds, clean rooms and great and friendly service are key factors in the ratings and awards received by  Inn. Located just a few steps from Corcega Beach, The Pineapple Inn offers the perfect setting for an intimate getaway at one of the most beautiful beaches in Puerto Rico.

From the March, 2008 issue of Travel & Leisure Magazine: "Rincón is known for its pounding waves, which attract some of the world's best surfers. But the location of the Tres Sirenas Beach Inn—on one of the town's more tranquil strands—is just as appealing. Ex–New Yorkers Lisa and Harry Rodriguez returned to Harry's native Puerto Rico to open a laid-back, stylish B&B. And with four breezy rooms (dark woods, rattan, white linens) and the elaborate breakfasts Lisa cooks up every morning for guests, this seaside spot fits the bill. If you're traveling with a group, consider renting out the entire villa. It sleeps 10, and goes for a reasonable $840 per night."

Casa Bomberos is named for the NYC firefighters that own it. This large and secluded vacation house offers privacy in a beautiful setting in the middle of Puntas.  This two-unit villa has a pool with Tiki bar, ocean views, several terraces, a BBQ grill and loads of amenities.

Harbor Restaurant not only offers great food in a beachside setting, it has the friendliest owners. Recently, a group of guests of Tres Sirenas Beach Inn decided to take a leisurely walk to Sunset Village, where they stopped in at Harbor Restaurant for a delicious seafood dinner. As the evening wore on, the diners had such a great time, they nearly closed the place. They bid goodnight to owners David Acosta and Omayda Guerra, who upon hearing that they intended to walk back to Tres Sirenas, insisted on giving them a ride to their beachfront accommodations. Now, that's Rincon!

Bike Path Update: We got word that the PR DOT has modified its plan for the Bike Path (see related story below) by trimming the width to 12' and eliminating the beach gabion walls that were highly objected to by the environmental community. These concessions and the speed in which they were announced are quite surprising for an island bureaucracy and are a step in the right direction in making the path a positive tourist attraction.

Tamboo Beside the Pointe has undergone an amazing transformation. Recently remodeled, it's now ready to show its new stuff. Tamboo has improved its facilities, but take heart, none of this will change its "Bar on the Beach" way, which earned Tamboo a spot on Esquire Magazine's Best Bars In America list. When Tamboo opens its doors we'll all still agree that there is no place like the Tamboo Tavern at Beside the Pointe. But don't pay attention to what we have to say, read the Esquire Magazine Review.

Testing the waters at our beaches has become a weekly thing for the local Surfrider Foundation Chapter. These tests prove what our wise grandparents taught us all those years ago: When it rains in the mountains and the clarity of our pristine off-shore waters changes, you shouldn't spend too many hours in the ocean. Common sense tells us that the rain-laden rivers and streams carry silt and other organics that swirl off-shore until the currents take them out to sea. So here's our response to the surfers who have written asking about the water tests: Surfers who want to spend an entire rainy day in the water should consider earplugs to avoid possible ear problems, just like surfers at the California coast don body suits to keep warm and surf more.

The Original Rincon Surf Patrol (left) has been put out to pasture. After over 200,000 miles, it was time to retire the now-legendary truck. It has been replaced by a leaner and greener model (right) that prowls Rincon and collects info on surf, dive, fishing and weather conditions and what's cool in Rincon. It also serves as a Roving Rincon Tourism Attraction that travels to tourist spots all over Puerto Rico, to further expose Rincon to tourists and residents.  It joins the USA Rincon Surf Patrol (bottom) on the prowl to promote Rincon in North America. The USA Rincon Surf Patrol is equipped with promotional signage, portable and handheld PC's with wireless Internet, GPS navigation, XM Radio, satellite phone, special lighting and of course, thousands of "I Love Rincon" giveaway bumper stickers, hats and t-shirts. Look for our Surf Patrol Reports and pictures of the Surf Patrol in cool places.

True Review or Hotel Hype? As more hotel review websites such as tripadvisor.com proliferate the web, website officials say that hotel owners are taking extraordinary measures to get favorable reviews for their properties. Besides prodding guests to post glowing reviews, some owners are placing fake positive reviews using false names. In a reverse twist, negative reviews are being posted by competitors and over-demanding guests. In Rincon, we know of one case in which a tourist services company was slammed in a review site, based on allegations of unsafe practices and misconduct. When asked to post the same review on our site, we carefully investigated the allegations and refused, after concluding that the complaints were of a questionable nature and that the people complaining were actually the friends of a competitor.

Dive Rincon and have the experience of a lifetime. Another great Surfing Season has ended and the hard-core enthusiasts have moved on to other cool surfing spots like Jaco Beach, Costa Rica. This time of the year, the waters around Rincon transform into an aquarium-like calmness. When you dive, the water is so clear- it's almost like it's not there.

The Rincon Shoreline Bike Path has been the talk of the town for several years. Envisioned by most to be a seaside scenic ribbon meandering through nature from Sunset Village to the Lighthouse, it was widely accepted as a great concept. Until recently, its actual route and construction method had been a mystery to most in Rincon. Several weeks ago, Leon Richter, a leader of the local Surfrider Foundation chapter and Puntas land developer, produced a complete set of engineering plans designed by the Puerto Rico Department of Transportation. These plans can be seen on a ring-the-warning-bell website that mimics Al Gore’s movie- although it’s not really an end of the world as we know it issue.

The plans that appear on the website show a mostly-paved bike path on steroids, with many add-ons that seem more geared towards motor vehicle parking spaces than the bicycles and pedestrians it's meant for. Upon viewing this expensive and intrusive plan, the Jimmy Buffet tune, "Overkill", comes to mind. But consider the source- this project would have been better assigned to recreational park designers, not the highway department. Imagine if the planning and construction of Central Park would have been handed over to a group of NYC Transit Authority engineers? 

We spoke to the Mayor about the bike path, who upon being confronted with a copy of the plans, immediately requested a meeting with the Public Works and Transportation Secretary. He wants to ensure that the bike path plans presented to him are correct and updated. He went on to say that he'll issue a position statement after his meeting. It appears that our Mayor was not fully aware of what was being planned for the most valuable natural treasure of his town. We also spoke to several community leaders who are now against the bike path, mainly because it appears to impact the Tres Palmas Marine Reserve (what part of the term “Marine Reserve” did the planners not get?). 

Rincon again finds itself confronting the choice between Natural Preservation and Tourism Development. In this case, one can recall the example of Marbella in Spain- or maybe not even go so far and take a stroll on the Piñones boardwalk between Isla Verde and Loiza to see how that turned out. 

It’s time for the Mayor to convene and listen to a Tourism Development Advisory Board. Projects like this one would then be more representative of the Rincon lifestyle and in tune with the realities and desires of all its residents. Besides addressing seashore issues, the Advisory Board can also take on overall development impact issues in the Town and rural areas, taking into consideration our limited and somewhat delicate infrastructure. This Advisory Board could also help the Mayor determine how to best use current public tourism funding and help raise more dollars. Right now, no one seems to know where any public funding for Rincon tourism comes from and what it's actually used for.

On a related note, perhaps such an independent entity can also find out why the “Chinchorro” (a large net that was cast from the beach by rowboat and pulled by anyone who wanted to share the catch) was stopped by the island Natural Resources Department, under the flimsy excuse that “it damaged the offshore reef” where it had been cast every morning for a time longer than most can remember. The only problem with that reasoning is a forgotten (or ignored) fact: there never was a reef off that particular beach. Any fisherman knows that you can’t cast a net over a reef- it’ll get stuck and besides breaking the net and damaging the reef, you won’t catch any fish. Maybe the local chapter of the Surfrider Foundation can assist in bringing the “Chinchorro” back to our community life and the ecological traditions that had been in place for centuries before the first surfboard ever touched our waves. After all, Rincon is not just about preserving the beaches and reefs for well-to-do surfers, is it?

The History of Rincon in Pictures: Besides recording today's Rincon in pictures and video for your enjoyment and for posterity, our archives contain hundreds of Rincon vintage photographs, some dating back to the late 1800's. Many of these unique historical photographs are from our Publisher's family archives. Others are from exclusive local sources. In order to preserve these important images, RINCON|ONLINE undertook a long-term historical conservation project, as a public service to the Town and its people.  We have completed cataloging and scanning the most important photographs, of which several were showing deterioration. In some cases, the images were restored and digitally enhanced. We've delivered the first CD-ROMs of these historic images to the Rincon Cultural Center, the Municipal Library and to Rincon Schools, for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations.

I Love Rincon Sticker: We once jokingly asked that anyone visiting China take one our sticker to the Great Wall and it happened. Marlene Gutierrez, that quintessential Rincon lover who now resides in Pennsylvania, has sent us another photo of her with of our sticker, in front of The Parthenon in Greece, home of the 2004 Olympics. Marlene shows her love for Rincon everywhere that she drives to with our latest sticker on her Audi. We mostly give away our stickers and they go fast. If you see the Rincon Surf Patrol, tell the driver to give you one. You can also order them (cheap, to cover postage and handling) at the Rincon Online Store. Send us your photo of a sticker at some unique spot, or on your favorite car, boat or other toy, and we'll place it on our Sights page.

Alive & Kicking: Eight years ago, we searched for the web portal for Rincon. There was none, so we began the Rincon Online Guide as a hobby. Since then, it's been just wonderful, doing cool things and meeting great people. Despite advice to the contrary and repeated requests from regional advertisers, we've stuck to our commitment to be a site that is about Rincon- and nowhere else. We give thanks to our visitors, sponsors and online partners for their ongoing support and trust. In return, we promise to continue being the best, most comprehensive and exclusive online source for Rincon, Puerto Rico.
