We were in Culebra from the 17 - 19 of May. After arriving on the island by ferry, we immediatley took a van to Flamenco beach. We had no problem registering at the campground. (Keep in mind I was with a Native of the Main island who has been there before) After setting up camp we hit the beach. There were a bunch of people there on Sat but they all left at 6 --- day trippers I guess. Sunday was pretty much cloudy all day but we still did everything we wanted to do. Lots of lounging and snorkeling! Sunday night it poured and poured and poured! After talking to a ranger (?- not quite sure what he was but he was walking up and down the beach with a huge flashlight) we hung around in the dark waiting for the sea turtles to come and lay their eggs but it started raining on us instead!
The next day was quite funny because everybody (including us) had clothes and things hagning from the trees to dry. Everything that we had was soaked! Flamenco beach was completely deserted that day! It was beautiful.
Culebra was a wonderful experience for me. I speak very little Spanish and was lucky to be there with a native but everybody seemed to be able to speak enough English to get by!
Norm,
I checked out the Villas while there and decided that camping was a better idea aand probably a lot cheaper.
I plan to come back to Culebra probably in August. I would really like to rent a boat for a couple of days. I was also thinking about renting a jeep this time. I have only been from the ferry terminal to Flamenco beach. Is the island a lot bigger and is it worth renting a jeep? Is there many places to take the jeep?
Where is the best place to rent SCUBA equipment?
