Best time
Year-round swimming is comfortable on Ponce's south coast, but the dry season from December through April brings the least rain and calmest water. Weekday afternoons are ideal for solitude. The summer months are hotter but the Caribbean water stays pleasant. Avoid holiday weekends when local families gather in larger numbers.
