You can rent your bike and cycling gear along the trail from places like CicloNatura, Lula's Bike Rent, Rent the Bicycle, and COPI (Centro Cultural y Ecoturístico de Piñones).
The trail is easy and can be enjoyed by all.
Tip: During your visit, set aside some time to splash around on the beach and dine at the numerous restaurants and beach bars near the boardwalk.

It's at Paseo lineal de Isabela, where you can ride at any skill level. Surrounded by wildflowers, the bike route stretches for over 4 miles with fascinating views of Jobos and Middles Beach.

Mountain Bike Trail at Domes
Rincón is also known as a surfer's paradise in Puerto Rico. However, most mountain biking enthusiasts visit this town on the west coast because of its challenging route.

End your trip with the most spectacular sunset you can witness on the island and take a dip to cool off after a day of pedaling. You can get your equipment at Rincón Mountain Bike Pro Shop.
