This is Flamenco Beach in Culebra, one of the worlds more beautiful
beaches.
From
the ferry dock in Culebra or from outside the airport you can easily
catch public transportation to Flamenco Beach.
You
would be wise to take your drinking water (and perhaps a sandwich)
with you. You can eat in town ... or sometimes the Restaurant/Bar,
at the hotel at the far end of the beach, is open. Little Kiosks
that sell cheap food have opened in Flamenco Beach but probably
not in the winter mid-week.
Culebra
has more tourists than Vieques Island and is more expensive. The Campgrounds on Flamenco beach is one
of the better places to camp in the world, you may need a permit
in advance, you may not. ..see the camping pages for info.
Kayaking
is great fun in Culebra.
Culebra
is a nice place to bicycle. Culebra Bike and Beach Rentals 787-742-2209
is located right in town.
Information
about Culebra can be found on the Isla
Culebra Website.

I have been asked by travelers to warn that: "Very
often, on a weekend, you simply cannot get a ticket to Culebra. Some people camp out overnight in front
of the ticket window in order to get tickets, and you
don't stand a chance. So if this is your schedule (
to go to Culebra on a summer week-end) you might want
to consider flying (with previous reservations). There
is an airport in Ceiba in the Roosie Roads Base and the fare is $45. one way.
Ferries to Culebra and Vieques leave from Ceiba. Schedule has changed so much recently !! but usually 3 per day. |
