Rincon
type: TouristAttraction
description: Rincon is the undisputed capital of Caribbean surfing—a legendary stretch of coast on Puerto Rico's western tip that lights up during winter NW swells. The area hosts multiple breaks (Domes, Maria's, Indicators, Tres Palmas) that cater to different skill levels and swell sizes. When big NW groundswells hit, Rincon can produce world-class waves rivaling Hawaii. The town has fully embraced surf culture, with a thriving scene of shops, restaurants, and accommodations. No passport needed for Americans.

Soup Bowl
type: TouristAttraction
description: Soup Bowl is widely considered the Caribbean's best wave—a powerful right-hand reef break on Barbados' rugged east coast. When NE groundswells hit this exposed section of coastline, Soup Bowl produces thick, barreling waves that have hosted WSL events. The setting is stunning: dramatic rock formations, palm trees, and the Bathsheba area's natural beauty. The reef is sharp and unforgiving, but the wave quality attracts top surfers from around the world. Caribbean surfing's crown jewel.

Encuentro
type: TouristAttraction
description: Encuentro is the Dominican Republic's most consistent surf spot—a reef break west of Cabarete that catches winter North Atlantic swells. The setup offers multiple peaks and sections, catering to different skill levels. Mornings are essential: trade winds pick up by 10am and can make surfing difficult in the afternoon. The DR is also famous for kiteboarding, and Cabarete is a hub for both sports. Caribbean surfing with year-round warmth and consistent winter swells.

Wilderness
type: TouristAttraction
description: Wilderness lives up to its name as Barbados' most challenging wave—a heavy, unpredictable left that breaks over sharp coral on the island's rugged east coast. This is not the Caribbean of cruise ship brochures; Wilderness is a serious wave that demands respect, fitness, and experience. When trade swells wrap around the island, the reef comes alive with thick, grinding barrels that have claimed many boards and left their mark on many surfers. Access is tricky, crowds are minimal, and the reward is some of the most consequential surf in the region.

Freights
type: TouristAttraction
description: Freights is Barbados' most accessible quality reef break—a fun, playful right on the island's mellower south coast that offers a welcome contrast to the east coast's intensity. Named after the old sugar freight trains that once chugged past, this wave peels with reliable form over shallow reef, providing barrel opportunities without the punishing consequences of spots like Wilderness. The break sits near the island's surf hub, making it easy to combine sessions with the Bajan beach bar culture. When north swells wrap around and the trades back off, Freights becomes a Caribbean reef break playground.

Tres Palmas
type: TouristAttraction
description: Tres Palmas is the Caribbean's big wave proving ground—a powerful right-hand reef break in Rincón, Puerto Rico, that transforms into a legitimate big wave arena when massive northwest swells funnel into this corner of the island. Protected as a marine sanctuary, the reef creates perfect, heavy walls that can hold triple-overhead surf and beyond, drawing big wave riders from across the Americas when conditions align. The surrounding elkhorn coral ecosystem adds ecological significance to what is already Puerto Rico's most respected wave. This is where Caribbean surfing reaches its upper limits.

description: Puerto Azul is an unusual Venezuelan surf spot that faces southwest, picking up swell from a completely different direction than the country's typical N-NE facing breaks. When the trade swell spots are flat, Puerto Azul can have waves—making it a handy alternative for Caracas surfers. The sandy bottom and gentle waves suit beginners and longboarders.

Anse de Remire
type: TouristAttraction
description: Anse de Remire is an exposed beach break in the Remire-Montjoly suburb of Cayenne, making it the most accessible surf spot in French Guiana. When NE swells run along the coast, the sandy bottom produces localized peaks that offer a taste of surf in a country where riding waves is still a novelty. The nearby restaurants and infrastructure make it an easy session.
