Driving Instructions to
Rincon, Puerto Rico
We strongly advise
renting a car for your vacation in Rincon, since exploring our corner of
Puerto Rico along Route # 413 is one of the highlights of any trip to
Puerto Rico's 'Porta del Sol'. There are so many different beaches to
discover and so many great places up in the hills to watch the sunset -
you'll love jumping in your car and explore!
You will find easy
driving instructions below. Car rentals are easy to arrange at all
airports. See listings below.
San Juan Airport (SJU) to Rincón:
There are a lot of steps in these instructions, since there is some
ongoing construction in Aguada - but its really very easy and if you get
lost, just ask anyone for Rincon! They've be happy to point you in the
right direction. The drive from San Juan is on a modern toll highway and
the style of driving is similar to any large metropolitan area in the
mainland USA. Note: most drivers in Puerto Rico do not use their
directional signals - so don't be surprised if cars turn without notice.
Once you
reach Aguadilla, the road narrows and becomes a 4-lane road with
stoplights along the way. If you miss the exit to Aguada, you can just
continue to Mayaguez and pick up Route #115 from the opposite
direction.
-
From SJU
Airport - follow signs to Highway 26 (San Juan) upon exiting the airport
--- DO NOT GO OVER MOSCOSO BRIDGE.
-
Take
Autopista (toll road) #22 (Bayamon).

follow #22 until Arecibo and pay several tolls - you can get rid of
your pennies too!

road).

around) approximately 4 miles to Rincon.

the right will be #413 (Bo. Puntas – El Faro sign),
take that 1.5 miles.

Lighthouse, Downtown and the Caribbean Coast - remain on Route #413

Getting Around in Rincón is best by Car or Taxi!
Most visitors
to Rincon rent a car so that they can easily explore all the beaches,
activities, restaurants and natural beauty of our corner of Puerto Rico.
Hertz (see listing below) has rental counters at all Puerto Rico
airports.
Driving in
Rincon is easy. Its even easier if you purchase a copy of our Tourism
Association Map when you arrive at your hotel, guest house or resort. The
map makes it easy to explore the best of Rincon. But don't worry - even
without the map, if you take a wrong turn its just one more great place to
discover. The roads are small two-lane 'country roads' with some twists
and turns - but they are easy to navigate. The beaches all have public
access and parking is available for most beaches.
If you prefer
not to drive on vacations, you can take a taxi from the airport to your
hotel or resort. Taxis are available to meet flights that arrive at the
Aguadilla Airport (BQN) - but you may want to contact Rincon Tours & Taxi
(see listing below) for reservations. Several of the larger hotels
and resorts can easily be enjoyed without the necessity of renting a car.
