Best time
Los Pozos is enjoyable year-round thanks to its Caribbean-side calm waters that remain gentle and warm in every season. The dry season from December through April brings the most reliable sunny weather without afternoon rain showers. Weekends see more activity with rental operators setting up equipment and local families arriving with coolers. Weekday visits are extremely quiet with few other visitors. Early mornings offer the flattest water surface ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding.

Getting there & safety

🧭

Access

Short path. An informal dirt parking area at the end of Carr. 3301 provides room for about fifteen to twenty cars in a sandy clearing near the shore. Parking is free year-round. The access road has potholes, ruts, and uneven sections that require taking it slowly with a standard car or using a higher-clearance vehicle for comfort.

⚠️

Swim smart

Calm, shallow waters make this one of the safer swimming beaches in the entire Cabo Rojo coastal area, suitable for children and inexperienced swimmers. No lifeguards are on duty. The main hazard is intense sun exposure on the open beach, so bring shade, strong sunscreen, and plenty of drinking water. Check the condition of rental equipment carefully before heading out on the water, especially kayak seats and paddleboard fins.
