Best time
Surf season runs from October through April when consistent Atlantic swells reach Rincón's coast. Morning sessions before 10 AM tend to be glassier with lighter winds. For sea glass collecting, visit after a big swell has churned the shoreline. Summer months bring flatter conditions better suited to swimming and beachcombing.

About Don Antonio's Beach

Situated on Rincón's quieter north coast between Sandy Beach and the River Mouth, Don Antonio's Beach offers a more secluded alternative to neighboring surf breaks. Morning sessions deliver beginner-friendly waves, while the shore is renowned for collecting tumbled sea glass in greens, whites, and occasional blues. This scenic stretch attracts fewer surfers and beachgoers than famous Rincón spots, making it ideal for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.

Local tips

Early morning sessions offer the cleanest beginner-friendly waves before the wind picks up
Bring a bag for sea glass collecting; the best pieces appear after storm swells rearrange the shore
Roadside parking along Route 413; look for the informal pulloffs between Sandy Beach and the river
The river mouth nearby can create rip currents; stay clear of the outflow during high-water periods
