Flamenco Beach

The jewel of the island, is among the ten best beaches in the world. Flamenco is probably the most accessibleBeach> on Culebra. All Publicos (for $ 3.00 per / person one way) to go there during the day when a car is an easy drive, or you can also walk 1.7 miles from the airport to get to this extraordinary piece must find the Caribbean sand.

During the winter, Flamenco (like all the northern beaches) is exposed to north swell. All this snow and bad weather we see on television broadcasts of ocean waves and rough seas on our way. This usually results in some largeBreezes as well!

Flamenco has some snorkeling on the left side of the tank and on the east side of the (small mole) mullecito, but in general, there are better spots on the island had snokel.

Carlos Rosario Beach

One of the best local snorkeling Carlos Rosario Beach. It 's a place you want to visit while on Culebra. Located on a 20-minute walk from Flamenco Beach, Carlos Rosario, is aof the best sites for snorkeling in Culebra.

The trail begins on the left side (entering) the parking flamenco. At the lower end of the road (after traipsing up and over the hill-ca. 20 minutes), we see a beach on the left. It is not about Carlos Rosario. Continue straight until the end of the road and the water is ahead. Then turn right and walk to the beach about 200 meters from Nice you will find some nice sea grape trees for shade and a bit 'of reef snorkeling await you.

Zoni Beach

Zoni is a popular white beach of golden sand on Culebra does not require any hiking. To achieve Zoni, however, are asked to make any kind of traffic, a bicycle, a car or a scooter as Publicos not want to venture outside.

Zoni beach is only 5 km from the city and, where possible, to the east go to Culebra. When you arrive, head down the right side of> Beach (sea), a little '. Here you will find a new sea grape trees for shade and a large pool right in front of the field. Even on the road to Zoni, as we reach the final climax before coming down a slope at the beach parking lot, it has a magnificent view of Cayo Norte, Culebra (with lighthouse) and also St. Thomas in the distance.

Tamarindo Beach

The junction to the beach of Tamarindo is about 1 / 2 miles beforethe car park flamenco. If you are coming from the city, keep your eyes on the first tree in the middle of the road just after a big yellow house and a left turn to the left. Remove it and go down. If through the park Tamarindo sign (just before the desire to go to the beach past), there are good shade on both sides.

Snorkeling in Tamarindo can be quite good if you are from the extreme left or right side of his head. Tamarindo is alarge beach, but since it has a great variety of sea grass, there is a very good chance you have two or maybe put a sea turtle.

Melones Beach

Melones is easily accessible by car, foot or bicycle from the board Palmetto, and is popular across town at the post office and the clinic. If you are heading to the ferry landing, right after the post and follow the paved road toMelones.

This beach is not like flamenco with a mile long white beach. But what it lacks in sand is more than compensated by its quality snorkeling. Melones is also a great place to catch a sunset.

Brava Beach

Brava beach requires a little 'more work to reach the beaches than the other.

Traveling in Zoni Beach, past the cemetery, a climb Culebra see the museum on the left and left againHand turn. Follow the road until the end and then begin the hike. Brava is about 30 minutes on foot, but it's definitely worth it! The crescent-shaped beach can be rough, but it offers a breathtaking view of one, many times, with the beach just on it!

Resaca Beach

Resaca Beach is similar Brava, which is quiet and requires quite a walk away. Before arriving at the trail head, follow the road on the opposite side (directionZoni) airport, as well as the construction of public works and training for you and you. The paved road turns into concrete and narrows and once you reach the circular space which rotates the top you should try to shield small tortoise of the road.

Resaca may take a little effort, the trail scrambling over rocks and ducking under tree cover. There are usually pink survey marker bound in different locations to ensure that you are in the right way. Sneakers are recommendedfor this walk, but a reward for the achievement of this beautiful beach is great!

Playa Soldado

When the paved road ends, you can park up and walk (about 15 min.) Or by car along the dirt road, if you have a high clearance vehicle in good condition. At the bottom is the parkright and can find a place in the sun or under the tree and look out for Vieques, as the days go by.
