Northwest Coastal Roadtrip – Quebradillas to Rincon

What to see: 

El Tunel de Guajataca is a step back into history, to a time when a railroad circled the island, moving sugar cane and passengers. Once you approach the northwest corner of the island, you will be greeted with stunning western views of the ocean.  The west is known for surfing and incredible sunsets.  For this reason you may want to make this an overnight trip!  Rincon is located on the western most portion of the island. It is a popular destination for Americans, with a diverse selection of restaurants and bars. 

Time: 

If you drive straight through, plan on a 90 minutes drive.  I would recommend spending a day on this trip to enjoy some of the beaches, and take in the sunset over dinner in Rincon.  

Notes: 

Like most scenic drives, traffic can be heavier on weekends and especially holidays. Rincon is about 2 1/2 hours from San Juan so it may be worth it to spend the night if you want to enjoy the sunset.
