A Walk to the 2016 Corona Pro Surf Contest

3 Replies

This weekend we walked from our house to Domes Beach to check out one of the biggest parties in Rincón: the annual Corona Pro Surf Contest. There wasn’t much in terms of waves, but it was still a big crowd. We had learned from years past not to drive or you would end up walking anyway. It is so nice to be able to just walk there. We had a great time and saw lots of friends and neighbors on our way. Because walking is such a slower pace it also gave me a chance to take some great pictures all along Highway 413 which is also known as the Road to Happiness. Here are a few plus a video I compiled. Enjoy.

Corona Extra Pro Surf Competition

Today we saw our first surf competition! It was incredible how many people came out to Rincón! The roads were backed up and we had to walk quite a ways to Domes Beach where it was being held. And we could see why! The day was absolutely gorgeous and it was fun to watch the sport that put Rincón on the map. There were a lot of very talented surfers and for many visitors it was a good reason for a huge beach party complete with coolers containing your drink of choice, plenty of people watching and listening to music.
