Additionally find Pools beach. The closest beach to 2casitas but not listed here on Airbnb. This is a lovely quiet little beach. It can be quite rocky so watch out. Walk down the beach to the left and find the Spanish wall. Ruins from the old Spanish railroad that used to go all around the island.

This is my favorite supermarket in the area but it is a 30 minute drive. There is a better selection of fruits and vegetables here. This market also has a much larger variety of products, a deli and bakery as well. Although this market is 24/7, we do not recommend going at night. Mayaguez is a larger city.

City advice
Getting around
Walking around Rincon
Rincón is a picturesque town. You could walk from 2Casitas to various places like Pools Beach (downhill), The Beach House, Red Flamboyan, Domes. But please keep in mind this is not for the faint of heart. PR and tourists can drive a little fast on our narrow roads. If you are looking for a leisurely walk, we advise walking to Pools Beach early morning. Now if you are an adventurous spirit and are accustomed to walking without sidewalks, go for it! We know lots of people who love to and you may see people jogging, running, cycling, walking all around our area. Always be cautious.
