WHY WE LOVE Flamenco Beach

Flamenco Beach in Culebra is set apart by its wide, crescent-shaped bay, where calm, clear water meets a long stretch of soft white sand. The curve of the shoreline offers protection from stronger currents, so the water tends to stay calm and easy to swim in. The beach is broad, with plenty of space even during busier times, which adds to its appeal. A rusted tank from past military use remains on the sand now covered in graffiti and often photographed. Getting there by ferry or a short flight keeps it connected, but still a step removed from the mainland. Basic facilities are available without taking away from the setting. It has that classic Caribbean feel with a bit of character that makes it stand out.
