We had a huge game changer today as we went next door the Banana Dang coffee shop for our a.m. coffee. We decided that we will stay close to the Rincon area today as we want to return and get some pool time downstairs...it looks so inviting.
We drove off in search of some local beaches as this was supposed to be a great surfing day according to the bongo playing surfer dude we met on the first evening. As I mentioned previously, every road down leads to the beach so off we went. We quickly found the 413 which parallels the beach down below the resort. We stopped and looked through some shops then parked at Casa Islena Inn and claimed a small stretch of Sandy beach.... and that is the name :-) We were able to use some chairs from the Lazy Parrot and enjoyed the big rollers crashing in. Numerous surfers of all levels showed their stuff.... for a second I thought I should try it.... then I woke up:-)

Hunger pangs started to creep in so we walked back and took a look at the menu at Casa Islena Inn... the pound of peeled shrimp was all that Kelly needed to see! Lunch was great!

We headed over to both Dome and Maria's Beach and watched a huge crowd of surfers doing their thing. What a difference a day makes as these places were deserted the day before. Now they were jammed full and the folks were enjoying the surfing conditions which to my untrained eye, looked perfect.
We headed back to the Lazy Parrot and some pool time... with a cool drink I might add. We are now stretched out in those loungers you see in the top picture!
Dinner was in the upstairs restaurant at the Parrot and was very good. We then wandered down to the Rum Shack in a fitting tribute to the end of our stay in Rincon. We will head back to San Juan in the morning via the southern route through Ponce. We want to see as much of the island as possible and we are told this is a very good road and a bit quicker... not that we are in a rush.
