Discover Culebra and Puerto Rico's Top Beach Paradise
Culebra has a uniquely friendly atmosphere with wonderful beaches, anchorages and some good snorkeling spots to satisfy all your water-sport needs. Culebra also enjoys an all year warm climate with temperatures between 70 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and it doesn't have a prolonged rain fall season. This means anytime is a good time to visit the Spanish Virgin Island of Culebra.
The people of Culebra enjoy a fascinating mixture of race and culture and are very helpful and respectable. Flamenco Beach is the most visited beach in Culebra, with its seemingly endless white sands clear, calm waters. This mixture provides the perfect environment for snorkeling, sun tanning and long invigorating strolls on the beach. Culebra was used for naval exercises until the year 1975. West of Flamenco beach you may find military relics and old tanks which make for great photographic material. Flamenco Beach is a protected Marine Wildlife Reserve, so you can take in the pleasures of a pristine beach away from the commercial world.
Culebra, though somewhat arid, is home to many interesting animal species. There are several nesting colonies of oceanic birds. Bird species such as Brown Boobies, Laughing Gulls, Sooty Terns, Bridled Terns and Noddy Terns grace the island. The Brown Pelican, Bahamas Pintail, Masked Duck and Ruddy Duck can be sighted in mangrove swamp areas were they nest and thrive. Culebra also provides habitats for the endangered Hawksbill and Leather Back Turtle species.
Culebra is an island which will not fail to give you an unforgettable and adventurous holiday experience. It has beaches, gift and craft shops, water sport amenities and hiking trails that will certainly leave you with memories of a great time.

If you are looking for a place where you want to enjoy relaxation, good food, good hospitality and respectful people, go to Culebra. I live on the island of Puerto Ricoi and have been to every beach and there is nothing like Flamenco and Culebrita! The only recommendation I have is to plan early trips on the ferry and do not go on a holiday weekend, because it will be full!

On several ocassions, I've visited Culebra Island , and it's a Caribbean Paradise. The local people of Culebra are very proud of their Tropical Paradise. The last time I went with my family--- my nieces had a ball. Two years ago, the Travel Channel named Flamenco Beach the second most beautiful beach in the world. This alone is an honor for such a pristine beach and island. The water @ this beach is so crystal clear that we were able to swim and see the fish, that were there. It's a marvelous place to visit. it is no wonder that Culebra and Puerto Rico are such famous travel destinations. Visit Culebra and see it for yourself.

oh beautiful Culebra, how I miss you. My mother was born and raised in Culebra. We have family like my uncle Henry who still live there. And we would visit the island every 2 years for about 4 days. The last time I went I took my husband, un gringo and he loved it. Culebra is unlike any place else on earth. YOU MUST GO AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!

I've revisited Culebra each year for the last 4 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. My wife is in love with the place!... what can i say, Flamenco beach has taken our hearts. I can't describe to people and have them understand how it feels to be on that beach for 7 - 8 hours and have it rain, sunny or whatever and still enjoy a place like this. RELAX!

thank you for the advise. My wife and I are visiting culebra in dec. and cant wait to experience the flight there. We are diving with culebradivers when we are there. Unfortunatly we are only there 1 day. Thanks for the info about just riding bikes. If people are scared to experience life and not take an adventure like on the ferry, so be it, less people to ruin our fun!!! We would have taken ferry if we didnt have to be to dive shop early. I think next time we are there we will try the ferry just for fun. Sorry that the guy earlier mentioned he didnt like your review. I thought it was great!!!!!!!
