There's no shortage of places to surf in Puerto Rico. In addition to the Gas Chambers (pictured above) are:
  • Domes Beach, which brings together surfers from around the world, thanks to its wicked breaks.
  • Playa Crash Boat, one of the most well-known surf and scuba beaches on the island.
  • Playa Jobos, another of Rincón's favored spots.
  • Surfer’s Beach, which doesn't need any other description.
  • Punta Las Marias, one of the few surfing havens in San Juan.
