Whale Watching: One of the most spectacular sights in nature is the annual migration of Humpback Whales that takes place off the coast of Rincon every winter. The peak season is in February - but whale sightings are possible as early as December and as late as March.  The Lighthouse Park is the best place to view the whales from land - although you'll see them through the waters off Rincon's beaches. If you prefer to see the whales up close - check with a dive shop or day sail tour for information on charter boat trips.
