Culebrita

Such a beautiful island! Take a boating excursion to see as much as you can!

OMG Tortuguita Island is so beautiful. Fell in love with the clear water. Different activities to do like snorkeling, paddle boarding, hiking to the old light house or just sit and relax. Don't get amazed if you see some savage goats around. If you go to Culebra don't forget to book a trip to Culebrita and have an amazing day.

I spent a week at this beautiful jewel in the middle of the sea off the main Island of CULERBRA. The surf and cliffs are amazing, the reef that we anchored at was so BLUE ... The fish and the show down below was like the introduction to a Disney musical with clownfish, parrot yellow striped and neon fish swimming between beautiful waving fan Coral of purple and black... The beaches are pristine the sand is white soft and clean.... There is turtle grass to the far right corner of the bay where sea turtles can be seen swimming on the surface and Sea Ray's down below. The abandoned old light house is now being worked on, they are rehabilitating it slowly, a new road leads from the beach at the reef to the top of the hill. Most of the goats are gone but we a woke to the cries of a few left behind.... Otherwise it was just us or another boat anchored in the reef.

Amazing place, easy to go on a 15 min water taxi ride, you do not want to miss it when visit Culebra Island

Beautifull beach and a lovely hike to the old light house

We rented a golf cart and went beach hopping, the views were AMAZING. Flamenco beach had strong waves and the lifeguards kept us out the water unfortunately but it was surreal location. The next beach we went to we were able to snorkel a bit and even saw a couple turtles. The island itself was very charming afterwards we went to a taco place which had the best coconut margaritas and guava mojitos.

The sky in the land! Do not hesitate to go!

The best Puerto Rico island to visit.

One of the most beautiful beaches that I've been too! Water was so crystal clear and a must to get a picture with the tank

Culebrita is an uninhabited island off Culebra's east coast. It is a very beautiful island with even more beautiful beaches. It has two main beaches, Tortuga Beach and Playa del Sur (South Beach). Tortuga Beach is by far the more popular beach. Many consider it to be Puerto Rico's best beach. I love Flamenco Beach, but I won't argue with Tortuga's beauty. It also has a natural pool. Playa del Sur is great in its own right. It is smaller and has less beach, but I find it has better snorkeling. It is also more secluded and quieter. Tortuga Beach's biggest problem is it is so popular it can get too crowded. Unless, you have no other option, I would say suggest avoiding this beach on the weekends and holidays. It becomes a marina, so many boats. That also means somebody is more than likely to fill the air with music blasting from their stereos. Their inner dj fills them with the need to make sure everybody on the beach knows what they are jamming. If you are interested in sampling both beaches, there is a trail that crosses the middle of the island d and connects both. I believe it is takes 15-20 min. Another hike I strongly recommend is the hike to see the ruins of the old lighthouse. It takes about 15-20 min and is an easy hike. Best to wear shoes or sandals that aren't flip flops. But if flip flops are all you have then it's fine. My wife hiked it in flip flops. You will notice a dried up lake in the middle of the island. The view from the top is spectacular. There is the lighthouse itself, but the real prize is the view. You can see the whole island and beyond. Breathtaking. There is Cayo Norte, a smaller island, to the north, and some other tiny island's. To the west is Culebra, maybe even Vieques on a clear day. South is the open sea, and to the east, on a clear day, you can see St. Thomas. Excellent photo and selfie ops. As you cross the middle of the island, on either hike, you might hear or see goats or deer. Culebrita is a must visit of you are staying a couple of days in Culebra. The only way to get there is by boat. If you don't own one or have friend that does, you can always male a reservation with a water taxi service or charter an excursion. There are a couple that offer rides to Culebrita, and other places such as Cayo Luis Peña (great for snorkeling). H20 Water Taxi, Cato Norte Water Taxi, and blue Water Excursions are some examples. The each have a Facebook page with more info, as well a a Yelp page. You can always ask local businesses about other services and/or their recommendations.

This is my favorite place in Culebra. It's a magical place. All your problems dissolve in the water. It's small but there is so much to do. You can chill on the sand or in the water, relax in the natural pool in Tortuga Beach, snorkel, hike to the lighthouse, kayak, paddle board, etc. Tortuga Beach and Playa del Sur are equally both great. Take one of the many services that offer trips here, you won't regret it. I came here with H20 Water Taxi.

WOW experience for those who enjoy nature! Snorkeling right next to small sharks and they are friendly! (But don't feed them . Any water tour is GREAT! We use Gammy Water Tours! Very professional, helpful, kind and ON TIME!!!! I recommend being close shoes to walk in some areas of the Island. Come and enjoy this beautiful wonder of Caribbean, but please, keep it clean!! So others can enjoy it too!!!! If possible, bring some large trash bags with you to collect anything that don't belong to nature. I'll be back soon!!!!

This beach needs no introduction, no explanation nor review. Just look at the photos and/or google Culebrita.

This is the most beautiful beach. White sand and clear water. The best part is how secluded it is. The entire day there were at most 20 people. We saw three different turtles. And beautiful fish. Hike up to the lighthouse and see the beautiful views.
