A surf town on Puerto Rico's west coast that hosted the 1968 world surfing championships and still draws riders to breaks like Tres Palmas and Domes. Winter swells bring the surf crowd, while summer's calm seas suit snorkeling over the elkhorn coral reserve. Beachfront guesthouses and food trucks give it a barefoot, expat-inflected vibe, with sunsets facing straight west over the Mona Passage.

Where next?

The world is wide open.
