Day 6 – Dia en Jobos beach
Originally we had planned on going to the caves and then to Rincon which is on the west side of the island. Well, the problem with the caves is that a huge bolder fell in January, killing someone. Needless to say, we didn't go to the caves 
Alex talked to the concierge and she recommended a beach past a town called Isabella. If you look at the island, it's pretty much in the top left corner. she said that going to Rincon is a long trip because the roads in and out of Rincon are really pretty local, so we decided to go with what she recommended.
Left early this morning and drove around two hours to the town. We had to drive around for a few minutes and went to a small hotel. She was really welcoming and wonderful and ended up driving her car leading us to the beach we were looking for. Talk about great people The one thing I can say about this place is that it was a bit remote. Not dirt road remote, but definitely tucked away
So we parked, laid everying out, and took in the place. Picture a crescent beach with a rock waterfall. Well, the rock waterfall turned out to be a peninsula that jutted out and was beaten by the waves and the water that crashed over, ran down in the rocks. Sharp worn rocks that REALLY hurt your feet:) I'll post pics when I get home.
Clear water, rocks with sea urchins, schools and SCHOOLS of fish - what a beautiful place. Really just a peaceful place, unsullied by a lot of american crap. Swam around with the kids for a long time, climbed around on the rocks and just had a really nice day. We went to the Sonia Rican little restaurant that was right on the beach. It's funny because it's a shack, but it was reviewed by Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel as the best Mofongo in Puerto Rico. Well, I'm not sure if it was the best, but the Lobster Mofongo was pretty damn good. As were the HUGE shrimp cocktails and excellent cheeseballs.
Jobos Beach - great place to relax, and SURF - oh yeah. Lots and lots of boogeyboards and surfing.
