Drew/Sue,
Drew, I have been told the same about the shoreline of Culebra, Culebrita, Luis Pena, Cayo Norte and other land masses around Culebra by one of the charter captains in Culebra. He even added to that by saying that there was a certain number of feet above the water line that was included in the right of access. I can't recall the number of feet, but 10 feet comes to mind. As I have not seen the official code for this I cannot vouch for the authenticity. But it does seem to be the way things operate. Also, in regards to kayaking and swimming at the access point I had on the map, we looked at several rentals that mention that the dock is nearby. But we stayed elsewhere and were taken there by one of the local kayak rental outfits. They seemed very legitimate, took no measure to hide the activity, placed glow sticks on the dock so we could find our way back and suggested we swim to get the full experience. Oddly enough, our guides did not want to get in the water. Seemed to have a fear of it. Most of us dove right in. And it was a very amazing experience. Especially while swimming with the mask and snorkel. If it is still permitted, I would recommend the people check with the kayak rental outfits to see if Manglar access is available there or anywhere else.
