Re: Need Help - Melones VS. Flamenco VS. Carlos
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Melones is your best bet. You can drive right up and be in the water in 5 minutes without having to walk more than 20 yards. I disagree with Richard's statement that Melones is choppy at all (especially if he is comparing it to Flamenco?) Melones and Rosario are on the south side of the island, which is the calmer, more protected side. Unless there is some unusual weather, Melones is an ideal place to snorkel. You do have to be careful about sea urchins.

There is coral at Flamenco Beach, but Flamenco is on the north side of the island, which can be rough, depending on surf. We often snorkel at Flamenco, but were not able to do so the last two weeks because of the surf and rough conditions.

The sea creatures are the same all about the island. It's a matter of luck and good fortune as to what you see where.

Happy Diving!
Debbie
