Food in Rincon, Puerto Rico

There are many local places to get some great Puerto Rican Food. Whenever you see a sign that says, "comida criolla," you know you're in for a treat. Just the other night I tried something new called a pastilles, which is a meat filled plantain turn over. In the states, all the junk food lovers can picture a "hot pocket." But this was a million times better. Not fried or stuffed in the microwave, they are steamed and wrapped in banana leaves.

There are many food stands on street corners that are great for picking up caribbean staples like yuca: a huge root vegetable, avocado: "Aguacate," they come in many different shapes and sizes here, pineapple: "pina," always smelling delicious and ready to eat, and lots of plantains and bananas galore.

Just recently I had the opportunity to try calabaza, or pumpkin. They are a little different that what you typically picture, with green skin and sold in quarters, but have a delicious taste.

Bioluminescent Bay in Puerto Rico

I just met with a wedding group that was heading out to La Parguera to experience the bioluminescent bay. La Parguera is a small fishing village on the Southwest corner of Puerto Rico and is part of the town of Lajas.  The luminescent effect in the bay is the result of a permanent population of tiny micro-organisms called Dinoflagellates.  These animals produce a chemical spark of light when disturbed in the water.  They can produce striking effects of green and white sparkles that can only be seen at night....and no, don't worry - it's not radioactive!

They were excited, nervous, and a little confused about just what they would find out there. After an hour drive south, they came across Luis' scuba shop and set out for quite an adventure. 

Rincon Vacations, a travel company that books all of your adventure activities in Rincon, Puerto Rico, helps set up the reservation. They send you directions, take care of bookings, and provide local information including where to stop along the way and any more good tidbits of information.

What an exciting way to bring the whole wedding party together! They said it was pitch black outside and so fun to feel like they were truly exploring something unique and natural. The bio-lumninescence glows in the water like sparks, glitter, or fireflies. This trip comes highly recommended from many travelers who have never seen such breathtaking phenomenon in the water.

Your party can book the snorkel trip as well that starts around 3 pm, which enables everyone to snorkel the area in the day time. Dinner and drinks are provided while Spanish music plays in the late afternoon. Once it gets dark enough, the group loads onto the boat and descends into the darkness, waiting to see the famous glow trail of the boats wake. Even if you're not much of a "water-person," this trip will leave lasting impressions and memories for everyone.

Beach Weddings in Rincon, Puerto Rico

Sandy Beach, Rincon, Puerto Rico

There are many beaches to choose from in Rincon, Puerto Rico. You may decide to wed right outside of your hotel that's located on the beach, or maybe say, " I do" at the spot you fell in love with on your first visit to the island.

Sandy beach describes the location perfectly. Huge stretches of sand right outside local beach houses and bars right in Puntas, a famous barrio, or neighborhood in Rincon. This one has a sandy bottom as well so swimming and diving into the water is refreshing and fun. Others have more trees and end up rather shady, like Maria's Beach. This beach's shoreline is lined with rocks and reef farther out to see. If you do end up surfing in Rincon, you'll often see Sea Turtles pop their little heads up and ride the waves right with you!

The beaches on the western side of the town have the calmer seas and are often popular for weddings because many resorts line the coast. While strolling the shore you are guaranteed to find pieces of treasure...sea glass!

Just a little bit of our pirate's booty! 

Sea glass, just ocean tossed and rubbed pieces of glass that are so beautiful. Fun to collect and wonder about their origins. Also, they make for wonderful decorations and jewelry if you're feeling creative.

Whatever you do, try not to let a little sand get in the way of planning such an important event. Here's a handy beach wedding planning guide to get you started...how do you plan a beach wedding exactly?
