Playa Pelícano (Caja de Muertos) is one of Ponce's most visually stunning coastal destinations. White‑sand beach on the nature reserve island; boat only; no shade or services—pack in/out. (DRNA; OSM; Google)
This beach is only accessible by boat. Local tour operators and water taxis provide transportation. Parking is limited but usually available due to the beach's remote location.
No lifeguards are present. Swim at your own risk and never swim alone. Apply waterproof sunscreen regularly - the tropical sun is strong. Check weather conditions before visiting, especially during hurricane season (June-November).
Best season: December through April offers the most pleasant weather with lower humidity. Morning visits (8am-11am) provide the best combination of good weather and manageable crowds.
