The 29 best spots for snorkeling in Culebra

I have mixed feelings about this beach. First of all, you have to pay to enter. I would be totally fine with that, BUT they don’t take care of the beach at all! There’s a ton of sargassum (never seen so much in my life), and they simply don’t care. It’s funny that they hired a lifeguard, but he only watches over a small part of the beach - and that part of the beach happens to be the worst, with so much sargassum that you couldn’t possibly swim there, so he’s basically redundant. If you wanna enjoy your time here, go all the way to the right (opposite way of where the tank is); that’s where the beach is cleanest and actually looks like the pictures.

Took the ferry to culebra then took a utv to flamenco . It’s $5.25 for parking , $2 each person to enter. Beautiful beach ! We arrived they had 2 red flags the water waves were crazy but after a while green flag . The waves were nice . Def would love to return

Known as one of the most beatiful beaches in the world. This place is beatiful and spectacular. Clean and having good facilities.

Flamenco Beach, just off the Coast of Puerto Rico, on the island of Culebra, is the most stunning beach in the Caribbean. We were able to capture some amazing videos and photos for our show but had a great time relaxing and enjoying the island and restaurants afterward. We took the ferry from Cieba which costs about $4.50 per person round trip. But get to the ferry at least 2 hours before the departure time to try to get tickets because they are in high demand. You can buy from the limited pool of tickets online if you catch them early enough. The hills that surround it give the beach a magical isolation from civilization that is unmatched by the hotel lined beaches in San Juan. The beach made us feel like we were in a tropical paradise. The water was clear, turquoise, and even more beautiful than the photos we looked up on Google. We rented a golf cart for driving around the island, which made it easier for us to park. And it avoided the Taxi fares, which ran about 20 dollars to get to the beach from the ferry station. But there is a parking lot fee of 5 dollars (US) and a 2 dollar per person charge to access the beach. You can pay cash or by credit card. There are multiple food options right at the beach entrance. They also have public bathrooms and a place to shower off the sand. This is a wonderful place to go for a romantic or family day. And everyone we met was friendly and engaging and having and pleasant. If you have a bucket list, Flamenco Beach should be high on the list. It is that beautiful!

By far, the best beach in Puerto Rico. Simply magical. Bright crystal clear turquoise waters, white sand, many food vendors, bathrooms, showers, beach chair and umbrella rentals. Parking is about $15 for the entire day (less if you are there for less time), and they charge a $2 cover per person for beach access and access to all of their facilities. We visited a few beaches and left this beach for last because it was the only one on the island with showers. I wish we would have just skipped all the other beaches and have spent the entire day at Flamenco.

Flamenco Beach is my favorite beach on the east side of PR. Have to take the ferry in Ceiba super early to be able to enjoy a great day in Culebra. Hadn't been there in a minute so I was surprised to see that now you have to pay for parking and for beach access also. Parking is $5 dollars and some change for the entire day. Beach access is $2 per person. Went in July for my bday. The beach had alot of a type of algae, sargasso, but it's a seasonal thing.

Most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to! The water was crystal clear for as far as you could swim. The sand was white and the crescent shape with the palm trees and mountains made it extra beautiful. Love the tank to go see too. Highly recommend!

You can snorkel in this beach. Just have to watch out for sea urchins as you're entering the water. We did not see any turtles on our visit but was advised that if you want to see turtles you should go in the morning before 10:00 a.m. because they feed during that time and go dormant the rest of the time. We snorkeled and saw a couple of rays and even an eagle ray. There's a lot of secrets here and a water gets pretty deep

The snorkeling is fantastic! There's a coral reef in 6' of water that's teeming with abundant & diverse tropical life. We swam with squid, dozens of species of fish, chickens😂, and much more... Including a giant iguana in the tree overhead.

Amazing place to see turtles. From the landing we swam left at about a 45 degree and found turtles in about 20' of water in the sea grass. Seen some massive barracuda out there and no sharks. You do get pretty far out but have to be careful for the currents. It is a very long swim so if your a beginner take floats or a life jacket. You should have fins on

Fantastic place to watch sunset. Neat to see many fish while snorkeling. Convenient parking area.

The best place to go snorkeling to see fish reefs and turtles. The water is warm and not deep. It's beautiful.

Incredible snorkeling just steps from the shore—spotted manta rays, sea turtles, and a variety of fish species. The beach is clean, peaceful, and never overcrowded. Protected marine reserve

Absolutely beautiful and amazing time. We did snorkeling. Great experience.

Pretty nice beach, but rocky in places. The real draw here is the snorkeling, but when we got there there were waves breaking on the reef, making it impossible to snorkel. It's not a knock on the beach, just be aware you may not be able to snorkel when you get there. It is the least protected reef on the west side of Culebra when there is a north swell. You park at the Flamenco Beach parking lot and pay about $5 per person. Park in the farthest back parking spaces to get a shady spot, and be closer to the trail. The hike takes about 20-25 minutes at a brisk pace, and is fairly steep in places. We went at 8 am, so it was still fairly cool, and we only saw 1 other couple on the trail back.

Absolutely beautiful. We were able to explore without interrupting the reef. The snorkeling and diving was amazing. We saw the reef and fish 40 feet under. Taking a tour made the experience even greater. #East Island excursion~ you rock

Super overgrown trail, we were wading through tall grass and some thorns most of the way. Covered in green bits by the end. The beach is worse than Flamenco. All that said, best snorkeling areas we found on the island.

3.5 stars. It may be beautiful if you could see a sunset. However, it's hard to go to this beach. You need to walk from Framenco beach in 20-30min. There is no car access beach.

The path to this beach is accessible from Flamenco Beach parking area. Duck under the chained gate and follow the narrow truck rut up and over, across this part of the island. The path has been cleared of any unexploded ordinates but the surrounding area may not have been so keep to the path. Bring only what you need and wear shoes you can move in (I'd avoid flip flops). After a hot 20 minute hike on a narrow rut with shrubbery scratching you along the way you are rewarded with a small, rocky beach area with great snorkeling. The path dead ends at Carlos Rosario. If you take any of the little paths off to the left you will encounter Tamarindo Grande ( not to be confused with Tamarindo). You can also take a snorkel boat tour here if you prefer not to schlep. For snorkelers, if you go all the way to the right, there is a wall/shelf with some big fish hiding under ledges and ok visibility. The main attraction is well before that though. Walk to the right, to where the rocky area meets the sand. Then swim out straight towards the white buoy. Unimpressive coral with terrible visibility will be on your left. Once you get far enough out,turn left and you will deeper water with soft coral and lots of fish just hanging out (I suspect the tour boats feed them). We also saw jellyfish and two rays - one of which was a gorgeous, big spotted eagleray.

Great spot to escape crowds of Flamenco or if winds and waves are too much on Flamenco. I wouldn’t do for snorkeling unless maybe you are in a boat as I swam all over the bay from the beach (including the Wall) and not impressive as most of coral is bleached. But great off the beaten path beach. We got there at 8am and had the beach to ourselves for over 3.5 hours

The trail starts at the Flamenco Beach entry booth. Go on the outside of the parking lot fence until you see a tsunami zone sign and a gate with a chain. Go thru the gate and follow the single file walking gpath for 25 mins. Not too steep, but your bare legs will get brushed by several plants. The reward?: rays, turtles, fish and corals. Fabulous. The reef is only 20ft to 50ft off shore. No need to go further out - except to look for turtles and rays in the sea grass. Look at other reviews to see where to enter the reef.

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.

Beautiful beach for snorkeling and having friendly turtles that can swim with you but never touch it highly recommended

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.

What a wonderful place! I fell in love with this beach! ♥️☀️

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

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

Great location for snorkeling with some coral.

Beautiful secluded little island with a great beach. Good snorkeling and scuba diving as well!

Good for snorkeling and it's also a nude beach, you have to walk 20 minutes to enjoy the beach

Beautiful light sand Beach. Clear blue water. Great snorkeling over a very beautiful reef.

Beautiful island for snorkeling .Very quite.

Love Flamenco beach Culebra. Beautiful. You can camp there too.

all around this small cayo (key) are different underwater topographical landscapes that will blow you away

Beautiful beach. Our guide showed us 6 or 7 green turtles and we watched them feed on sea grass. Lots of moon jellyfish and other reef fish.

Did snorkeling here, pretty cool clear water.

Beautiful and pristine shore entry for snorkeling that was as good as taking an excursion! My only complaint is there were sea urchins everywhere and luckily someone warned us before we stepped on one when we went to snorkel. We rented a golf cart for the day and this was the spot we kept coming back to! When you go out, only go shin deep and then float over the rock beds where the urchins are lurking... Go to the right about 100 yards to where you see rocks sticking out of the water and that's where the amazing reef and it's aquatic life awaits! Absolutely beautiful!

This was a beautiful beach we caught the last two hours of daylight to snorkel here. Beautiful ocean life found near the rocks. If you’re a good swimmer you can swim out there and skip the rocky trek, otherwise bring some good shoes. It was better snorkeling than Playa Flamenco, gorgeous!

Nice beach where you can see coral reef.

Sadly erosion always took over this beach

When you enter the water, it's shallow, rocky and full of sea urchins. But push through and head to the right for some of the better snorkeling on Culebra. There is space for parking a few steps from the water. The "beach" is rocky coral.

The water temperature is amazing! The water is really enjoyable, but yes, seaweeds is all over the beach “nature at work”. We had a great time and enjoyed very much this spot, you can go out in the water and have the greatest time, extremely clear water with fine sand. You won’t regret.

This beach is the hidden treasure on the island. It's practically empty, with a very large beach in either direction to lounge on. In my opinion, the water was clearer than Flamenco. The waves were not as strong, at least on the day I visited. If you go approximately 50 yards to the left from entrance after parking, you'll find the best area to go out with no rocks to maneuver around and you can walk out pretty far. I regret not bringing snorkel equipment as this is the ideal place to go. The only drawback was the sand was mixed with some black stone, which caused it to get VERY hot and you couldn't stand barefoot in one area long, so either get in a shady spot, on a towel, or stay in the water! We went back the next morning for sunrise as it faces to the east. Highly recommend!

Very beautiful beach with great views of the smaller adjacent islands. It was a little bit too wavy for my liking compared to the other beaches that day and it also had many reefs with sea urchins on them so we had to be a bit careful. Definitely wear water shoes.

No showers here , we were there during the sunset, we didn’t swim, the water was not calm . But it was very romantic

Beautiful beach,was visiting for first time. Swam in June water was super warm and looked like a post card. The beach is very calm and chill and it’s free. Bring your cooler with drinks and snacks and you will be all set. There are no tourist amenities around, just a beautiful local beach. Enjoy the peace and wonder of this beach.

Really beautiful and isolated beach, without many tourists. Please keep in mind that the beach is not organized and there are no bathrooms or any places close to have food/drinks. There are also lots of sharp rocks, but there are clear spots to swim.

Loved the beach, you can walk and see so many amazing views the beach is perfect for snorkeling and the current is no so strong. White samds and clear water. Less crowded than Flamenco and it's free to get in. Perfect for meditation or just spend the day with some friends or family, great for kids it has no amenities, so you should pack some snacks  and beverages with you if you’re planning to spend a whole day there.

Best sunset in Culebra

Great snorkeling especially to the right of the beach/entry area. Rocky with lots of urchins near shore so be careful getting in and out of the water.

Our faveroit snorkeling place with a healthy reef full of beautiful fish. Crystal clear protected water.

Beautiful reserve great snorkel destination

(Translated by Google) I visited it from the town, walking up and down for 15 minutes. It is a beach for beautiful photographs, swimming among the rocks, snorkeling, with good shoes you can walk and enjoy the prickly pears, cardons and arid zone species. Beautiful landscape of both bays. I really enjoyed my stay for 3 hours until I enjoyed seeing the fish and hedgehogs. Take a risk and go for a walk (Original) La visite desde el pueblo, caminando subidas y bajadas 15 min. Es una playa para bellas fotografías, nadar entre las rocas, hacer snorkel, con buenos zapatos puedes caminar y disfrutar de las tunas, cardones y especies de zona áridas. Bello paisaje de ambas bahias. Disfrutes mucho mi estancia por 3 horas hasta disfrute viendo los peces y erizos. Arriésgate y da una caminata

(Translated by Google) Beautiful😍 Excellent option to explore corals with a good sample of fish🤿 (Original) Hermosaaa😍 Excelente opción para explorar corales con una buena muestra de peces🤿

Simply gorgeous.

When we didn’t find our way to Carlos Rosario we ended up here. Lots of coral and there was no one there. We were able to tan places that usually don’t get sun. About a two mile hike through thorns and an overgrown trail. Definitely bring water and good shoes.

Great place to snorkel for all. The water is pretty calm and it is easy to stay off the coral. Highly recommend for snorkeling. Look out for the sea turtles in the grass.

Great snorkeling, there was a swift current along the cliff. Beautiful beach and a few nice mooring balls for day use only. Felt like being on a deserted island. Clear water and beautiful colors!!

Lovely bay, very protected, clear water, cute little coral reef and pristine nature. Except for that odd dump place on the mountain in the distance (south)

Asome experience. The crew on the Tobias was amazing taking us to the playa tamarindo to go snorkeling, feeding us and giving us all you can drink piña colada for only $49.99. I would have easily paid $100.00 for a trip like this. The water was cristal clear and the weather was amazing on a March sunny day.

What a great beach, pretty quiet too. The coral here is pretty well protected, but is sort of bunched together, rather than spread out. I’d definitely recommend this beach for snorkeling, regular beach swimming might be difficult.

Good place to snorkel. Saw a lot of fish in the coral and a couple jellyfish. Was told there are turtles in the grass further out but didn't see any.

The beach is beautiful. The hike in is about 1 mile from the road. Definitely want to make sure you have a pair of hike boots or shoes. Found plenty of reptiles and crabs along the way. Watch where you step as you can find many small ant colonies that will bite.

Gorgeous, secluded beach if you can look past all the Atlantic trash and ridiculous amounts of seaweed washed up along the beach. Once you get to the "parking area" at the end of the unmaintained road, it's a hike on foot for 25 to 30 minutes one way. Unfortunately the hike out is worse than the hike in, but we found the beach to be worth it. Wear decent walking shoes or sandals with straps and don't go if you aren't willing to get a little exercise. It's been noted several places that this isn't a good beach for swimming and can be dangerous. That's going to be a personal decision based on your ability and the surf conditions. The surf wasn't too crazy on the day I visited and I'm a very strong ocean swimmer, so I did some swimming in the surf here, but I always remained very vigilant for rip currents and stayed in close enough that I could always touch. Swim at your own risk.

This is a really beautiful beach, you have to walk 30 minutes to see this beautiful beach, crystal Walters, very clean, you can spend all day right there and relax

Awesome beach! You have to walk around 25 min to from parking spot to the beach. Totally worthy! We have the beach for ourselves. Waves are stronger than other beaches in Culebra but perfect to swim! Love it !

Stunningly beautiful. Accessible by 4wd with some courage, care and faith.

A very beautiful and peaceful beach!! Nobody there when we went, and what a beautiful day it was. Great place for a swim and playing in the waves. Waves were much bigger than anywhere else on the island, although still relatively small, it was a blast. Hike was not so bad really. About 30 mins one way all downhill to the beach. Be careful hiking through the boulder forest and don't step on any hermit crabs!! We saw only one small snake. We got to the parking spot perfectly fine in our golf cart too, btw. I would not say you need a Jeep.

Awesome Trailhead and very difficult to pinpoint without pictures. The drive up was absolutely beautiful and actually quite difficult, would not attempt without a real truck or jeep. There was a truck camping there when we arrived, and after locating the entrance to the trail, we opted out as it was extremely overgrown and Packed With Spiders! lol Make sure you bring real hiking gear and a Big Stick!!

Difficult to get to and no amenities. Just pure beach with nobody on it. Bring everything you need to enjoy a peaceful day.

Amazing hike. Really cool way to spend the afternoon. Definitely need good shoes (we were wearing flip flops so it was extra challenging). Bring WATER! Also we got robbed… our golf cart parked on top of the hill was ransacked by surfers who we saw coming up when we were going down the hill. No big deal - but a good reminder that this is a poor island and people will do anything to make a $$$ Overall - must do activity if you are into hiking and want to have more active time on the island. Over

100% we’ll worth the effort. The beach is both remote and majestic. Twice there for six plus hours alone. Ample parking at the top of road. Trail starts just left of the nesting beach sign. Trail is obvious going down, moderately difficult but manageable. When you get to the bottom follow the debris in the trees. Straight then a hard left then a right to the beach opening. Be brave, you will never regret it.

beautiful beach, but very dirty, we walked along the shore over rocks and back directly through the bushes

Definitely a journey that's worth it: had the beach to ourselves. Big waves with a strong seaward undercurrent. Between the hike down and the strong ocean - I wouldn't recommend bringing children here.

Amazing snorkeling right off the beach. I was just in Hawaii and this had a better and more colorful reef then I found anywhere in Honolulu or the North Shore. The beach was absolutely amazing even if it’s a little small. Highly recommended.

From USFWS Staff: Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We understand there might be some confusion about the accessibility and purpose of Luis Peña within the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge. To clarify, Luis Peña is one of the two islands in the refuge open to the public for recreational activities. It offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, swimming, and enjoying Culebra’s natural beauty. As part of the refuge, Luis Peña plays a vital role in protecting critical habitats for marine life and migratory birds. We encourage visitors to enjoy the area responsibly and help us preserve its ecological integrity for future generations. While there are no traditional hiking trails on Luis Peña, the island offers incredible snorkeling spots where you can observe vibrant coral reefs and marine biodiversity. We’re continuously exploring ways to enhance visitor experiences while ensuring conservation remains a top priority. Thank you for helping us improve how we communicate the unique opportunities Luis Peña offers. We hope you enjoy your time in this beautiful refuge!

You have to take a boat to get out here but it's worth it for the best snorkeling in Culebra. Visibility is what sets this place apart. Lots of fish, great depth, and sandy bottoms. We saw great barracuda and a spotted eagle ray as the stand outs.

What a magical place. I can't wait to return.

Peaceful beach perfect for Snorkeling or Rest all day long

Beautiful!!! Their are no words for the beauty of this place....

OMG! Can anyone say Crystal Clear Water...private island. We chartered a private boat. The ride is approx 2hrs, but we had a party on the boat. This isn’t for people who get sea sick (water is choppy). Once you get to the island there are several private boats docked and you literally have a party on the beach. I experienced my 1st time snorkeling which was amazing!

This is NOT Zoni beach, but it is still a lovely, isolated spot. If you are trying to get to Zoni beach follow the sign posted (see pics below). Not great for swimming because of the sea grass and rock right off the beach, but nice for relaxing with no one else around. You can see Culebrita and the US Virgin Islands from here. Be AWARE the last part of the road that descends to the beach is terrible. It was treacherous even with a four wheel drive truck. You have been warned!

Calm beach with parking. There is a beautiful view of Culebrita island. Clean sand and water. No people.

Awesome beach once you walk through the rocks swim little. Hidden Gem 💎 ✨️

I adore this beach!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful and quite private beach... you can see butterflies and nature almost intact by human hands. You can feel like you are in another part of the planet... you forget that you are in Puerto Rico, with so much tranquility and peace (Original) Una playa hermosa y bastante privada... se observan mariposas y La naturaleza casi intacta de mano humana. Puedes sentirte en otra parte del planeta... se te olvida que está en Puerto Rico, de tanta tranquilidad y paz

Tranquility

(Translated by Google) Very nice distant, dirt road. (Original) Muy bonita distante , el camino en tierra .

THE Culebra Park which is most of Island is just beautiful, with beaches, views, even swamp lands. CULERBRA has put up signs drawing attention to the Sea Turtles most are just in Spanish/ there are a few sentences in English. We rented a gold cart and see the entire day driving around the island from land as we have been sailing from USA to Panama & on often only seeing what we can by boat, dinghy or walking.

Absolutely s must visit. The beaches are a must see. Do take the rent a jeep, do fly over (ferry is locals first and not guaranteed) and do spend a night as you'll find you need longer than a day. Happy get-a-away....

Culebra is amazing, purchased a tour on a boat, word of caution...ride is extremely bumpy and made me sea sick, take a life jacket since the boat docks away from actual beach and you'll have to swim to it. Other than that, the swim is worth it, good snorkeling available right off the beach, water is warm, perfect for swimming, clean and not crowded.

This is a cute little and the only airport in Culebra island mostly used to fly from Culebra to San Juan and Vieques. Most of the planes are 6-8 seater. Staff is friendly here and amenities are good. They have a clean toilet, drinking water and a coffee bar. Just 2 min walk from this airport is car rental shop. Also there is a big grocery store at 5 min drive.

Beautiful place. I've vacationed twice in Culebra, will go again. Great beaches, bird sanctuary, restaurants and people.

Beautiful beach, definitely worth the travels to get there, you need to get to the Island by plane or ferry

Culbera Museum, open Friday thru Sunday. $1.00 donation. Sonja is the curator, retired teacher. Located on RT 250 heading towards Zoni Beach.

Not good snorkeling and no real beach. Not a bad place to post up on the rocks if you just want to chill, they have some wooden tables. Walk over to Melones for good snorkeling (far right).

Beautiful view. Not much sand, just enough to set up chairs. The snorkeling beach is to the right past the peninsula...Melones Beach. Melones is rocky with lots of broken coral. Not sandy. But if want to snorkel, start from Melones.

Very accessible beach 5 min ride from the ferry. Walk (1min) on Punta Melones (you can see this from the ferry dock) to the other side of the pennisula I think this is Playa Melones. For awesome snorkeling head right to the exposed rocks. This was our last morning in Culebra and we needed a quick snorkel before dropping the car off. We were not disappointed neither will you .

Words and pictures can't do this island justice. You HAVE to go experience and see it from your own eyes!

Nice beach to snorkel at but definitely not to swim. There are sea urchins all over near the shore line but the coral reef had a decent amount of fish and we saw Sting rays while snorkeling here

Moored off the beach on a Saturday night. Amazing starry skies, as there is no light pollution. Crystal clear water, and the occasional sting Ray and sea turtle come by to say hello.

I liked the beach except you MUST wear water shoes. I was not prepared to wear water shoes at the beach but snorkeling here was amazing. Very relaxing.

Nice secluded beach with little to no people. Off the beaten track and a good portion of steep narrow dirt road (Do not go here after heavy rainfall or you'll definitely get stuck!) Clear calm water. Many dead corals unfortunately. Rocky shore makes difficult exit if dragged by current. Becareful with the currents when going out further and take note of the drift.

Great beach. Away from the famous beaches and there was no one around. We took the golf cart all the way here but jeep would have been better.

Beautiful place that you can watch sunset at. Good for snorkeling. Little rocky with beautiful scenery. It's not the typical beach. It's worth seeing.

Excellent beach off the beaten path. Great snorkeling here but make sure you have water shoes because the beach is rocky. Calm waters though good for a beginner or young swimmer. The path to get down is a dirt road but it's manageable for even a golf cart.

Lots of fish to see. Be sure to go to the right, and close to the shore. Also great rocks to scramble on with a "Jacuzzi to sit in while the waves wash over you. Lots of opportunity for adventure.

Beautiful beach, watershoes recommended. it has no amenities, so you should pack some snacks  and beverages with you if you’re planning to spend a whole day there. Perfect for snorkeling and clear water.

We decided to go watch the sunset in Punta Soldado and it was a great decision! Road is great, beach was super clean and only 6 more people there. We brought a pizza and a champagne bottle and had blast.

I've been here at this beach 12 times now. This is an amazing experience that if you ever get to go to Culebra PR you must see this site. It's amazing how many times I have been here and every time I take a photo with this tank it constantly is changing the design on it I love this island. I hope to move here by next year. The people are kind and always helpful. They appreciate tourists. It's safe and barley any accident on this island, considering you can barely make it past 35 miles an hour before you hit a turn or an iguana 😅 It's always such a great time, great friends, and great music. This beach is on the 10 most visited and best beaches in the world! Look it up! It also changes on design everytime I have gone and seen it, Scroll through the photos to see how it changes. Also there used to be another one up higher above it but I think they took it back because it was still usable for the military. 💯

Playa flamenco Culebra PR is very beautiful island you must visit this place culebra has approximately 7 beaches to hang out but this one is the most beautiful one

It's cool. But, right now it's surrounded by a lot of rotting, sulphury smelling seaweed which makes it impossible to get up to it. Good for a photo though.

it's right there on the beach why not go and look at it. you don't see a Sherman Tank on the beach very often.

This was so cool to see. I want to look up the history and read the story of how these two tanks got here.

The painted tank at Flamenco Beach is one of the most unique and iconic sights in Puerto Rico. Once part of the U.S. Navy’s presence on the island, this old military tank has been transformed into a colorful piece of art, covered in vibrant graffiti and paintings that change over time. It’s a striking contrast to the soft white sand and turquoise water of Flamenco Beach, and it gives the area a special character that blends history, culture, and creativity. Visitors love stopping by to take photos, and it has become a must-see landmark for anyone visiting the beach. The tank reminds you of Culebra’s history while showing how the island has reclaimed its past in a positive and artistic way. It’s more than just an abandoned relic — it’s now part of the story that makes Flamenco Beach one of the most unique and memorable beaches in the world.

Really cool 105 Sherman! After the Navy was sent to Culebras they used this area for test landings, ground maneuvers, and bombing practice.

Phenomenal experience- Trevor and the gang were professional, enjoyable to be with, and most importantly they lead 4 awesome dives for me. The gear was current, they adjusted to what you wanted to do/see, and I would love to go back and dive with them again. They also ran 2 guides with cameras and provided an email post-dive with info/data on the locations/dives along with photos of the marine life and yourself. Cannot recommend enough- thank you for making my trip!!!!

Trevor and Heather were amazing with their service and the dive sites picked by them. Being partners with Trevor he was able to point out so many things I would have missed. And his free pictures he provides were another unexpected bonus.

We loved our experience diving with Culebra Divers. They are very organized, clean and made sure we did not repeat dive sites. Trevor was incredible. We loved having him as our captain and dive guide! The dive shop is also super nice and they have a lot of cute, unique things for sale. Our group had a wonderful time this week and we will definitely dive with them again in the future when we visit Culebra again.

We dived & snorkeled with Culebra Divers for a full week in May which included me doing the Discover Scuba Diving experience which was fantastic. We just returned for another week with Heather and Trevor in September because they are simply the best. This week I did the 4 day Open Water Training and my wife dived the entire week and we did the 2 tank morning dives together the last day after I was certified. Trevor is a master Dive Master and simply the best instructor. They are a great team, thorough, professional, and safe! The last two dives were amazing (Chutes and Ladders site!). I recommend this shop to anyone who dives or wants to learn. ** update after our 4th time diving with Trevor, Heather and team over the past 2’ish years so that tells you a lot about their business! Great dive sites, marine habitat knowledge, top notch equipment and care of divers regardless of skill level. We’re confident you won’t find a better dive experience. After dive stat summary and photos always a great bonus. 🙏🙏

This was an incredible experience! If you are thinking about booking this tour with Culebra Divers, do it! Heather and Trevor were fantastic instructors and guides. They were so friendly and professional. I really enjoyed getting to know them for a couple hours during our excursion! And the dive experience was so awesome. We saw tons of wildlife, including eels, stingrays, and a huge barracuda!

The team was awesome. Super friendly, competent, took great care of the less experienced divers in our group while we were underwater, and did a great job of finding and pointing out sea life. The dive sites were stunning

Excellent diving experience. Doug and Trevor were fantastic and very professional. We are newly certified divers and they took great care to ensure we felt safe and had an enjoyable experience. We saw a lot of marine life. They also sent us photos of the dive without charge. Would highly recommend.

Norman is the best I got a lots of good pictures under the water. He took us to the right spot where I can see sharks and sea turtle for the first time of my life. not too many people in the boat feel like private tour ! 100% recommend.

Norman was friendly and helpful; The boat was fast and safe. Culebrita itself is a fantastic uninhabited island. Loved every moment of it, we hiked and cooled off on the most beautiful beach I ever seen, we snorkeled on crystal clear waters. I highly recommend this tour and experiencing the crystal clear waters of culebritas beaches!

The Boat & Snorkeling tour was great! Our Captain was very informative & was very considerate for the children on board. He took great concern to keep them with him to make sure they were safe at all times. Definitely will book w/them again!

Norm was an awesome tour guide. He was super friendly and knowledgeable and you can tell that he has been doing this for a long time. I highly recommend the snorkeling tour, it was an absolute blast.

This was a Great experience around the island. We had a smaller boat with a smaller group which made us bond more with the group and ask questions if we needed. Definitely recommend going if you want to experience the island from a local.

We had an amazing morning snorkel session with Norman! I could have stayed in the water the whole day just discovering the beautiful underwater world around Culebra. We saw a colorful assortment of fish, rocks, coral and even a hawksbill sea turtle! One of our favorite activities while visiting the island.

This was hands down one of my favorite experiences on the island. My husband and I found Norman through Air Bnb and we booked our experience through there. Norman is one of the nicest, most helpful people we have met on the island. As tourists, we ended up running out of gas before we started our paddle excursion, lo and behold the only gas station on the island closed at noon that day. Norman was incredibly helpful and ended up getting us gas from his own personal supply. He literally handled everything for us that night. He was patient on the paddle board, he gave great instructions and he truly truly loves the land and what he does. Spend 5 minutes with the man and you know you are with someone who loves and appreciates what they do. A member in our party fell into the water and while that could've have caused panic for some he made it a comfortable and laughable situation that honestly even I felt ok to fall into the ocean in the middle of the night ! He took pictures of the experience for us too and made sure we all had them before we left. May God continue to bless this man and his family. People like him make Culebra what it is. If that isn't enough, paddle boarding in the channel while the sun is setting is something you won't soon forget, we passed restaurants and it felt like something out of a movie. We saw sting rays and tarpon fish, not to mention all the little fishes that kept jumping onto our boards. Thanks Norman!

Our experience with Kahlif in Culebra was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we began planning, Kahlif went out of his way to ensure we had an unforgettable time on the island. The boat ride itself was breathtaking, and Kahlif's guidance enhanced every moment. We were lucky to spot a nurse shark, turtles, stingrays, and an array of colorful fish—all thanks to Kahlif's expertise. I highly recommend Kahlif to anyone visiting Culebra. His attention to detail and exceptional service made our trip truly memorable. I just returned home and I'm already planning my next visit, which will definitely include another excursion with Kahlif. You won't be disappointed—book with Kahlif for an incredible experience!

This is your confirmation to hire Captain Kahlif! 🚤 He absolutely delivered on a phenomenal boating experience to Culebrita. From helping us coordinate a last minute trip and transportation to and from the airport to snorkeling, a lighthouse hike, photo shoot, tide pools and the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean please DONT MISS OUT he provides everything you need!- Pick Captain Kahlif for the best of what Puerto Rico has to offer. 🥳🏝️🇵🇷🚤

We had a fantastic day with Khalif. He is welcoming, friendly, and knowledgeable. It was clear that his top priority was making sure that we had a really great day. Honeymoon Beach on Luis Peña couldn't have been any more beautiful. And he even picked us up at the dock near our apartment rental! No hesitation in recommending Kahlif for an amazing day on the waters and cayos around Culebra.

We visited Culebrita with Kahlif and it was incredible! He was able to take us over to the island last minute which was exactly what we needed. Playa Flamenco was rough and on this island the water was calm and beautiful. He was so accommodating, helped us every step of the way and gave us great recommendations for our night out in Culebra. This tour alone makes us want to return to the area. It’s a must do when visiting the island!

Kahlif is a great captain and host! His maritime knowledge and expertise in the local area are great! But what set him apart it’s his humility, which made the trip very enjoyable. I would recommend him, and his services are world class!

Wow,Wow,Wow! There are not enough stars for Kahlif!! Kahlif private boat tour was amazing!! We were visiting on Vieques and really wanted to get over and experience Culebra as well. Kahlif was quick to respond. He told us our options and recommendations. We followed his suggestions.. he is native to Culebra. We decided to visit Culebrita. A very secluded picture perfect area. Kahlif picked us up in Vieques and we took about an hour boat ride to Culebrita. We saw natural tide pools big enough to soak in, climbed to an old light house and went snorkeling which was fantastic! Kahlif showed us where to snorkel for the best odds of seeing cool things. We saw sea turtles, Sting ray, nurse sharks and a variety of fish both big and small. Kahlif was extremely attentive and polite. Our trip included non alcoholic beverages, snacks and a delightful fruit plate. Kahlif also had all the snorkeling gear and chairs to sit on the beach with umbrella if we wanted. After one of the most memorable days with my family, we were dropped back off in Vieques. Do not hesitate give Kahlif a call. You will not regret it!! Thank you again Kahlif!!

We had an amazing time on our trip to Culebrita with Kahlif. He is a wonderful captain and he went the extra mile on our tour with fresh fruit, drinks and lunch and even helped my younger twins swim out to the reef so they didn’t get too tired. We saw so much wildlife and even a few tortugas. Do not hesitate booking with Kahlif, you won’t regret it! Thanks for the wonderful day, Kahlif, see you again soon!

Ranty you're quite the captain, and your personal service was the highlight of our trip. You need to charge more money. We will be back again someday. If anyone is fortunate enough to get a trip with Ranty, then lucky you. He will custom make a snorkeling/hiking/shark-petting trip just for you. And he can pilot to places you didn't think you could go. It will be your best day

Randy absolutely crushes it. He took us to some great spots and we were able to see sharks, turtles, and even whales!

He is the best guide, very patient and friendly. Every host should be like this, had a wonderful time
