Culebra - St. John Comparsions
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hello all,

I have been with my family three times to St. John.

Am looking for something like St. John but a little different.

Am planning a 1 - 2 week vacation in early August.
Would be me, wife, and two late teen daughters.

Like the beach and snorking...maybe some hiking/shopping.
Not interested in Bars etc.

Any comments / comparisons to St. John would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,
Gene

I've never been to St. John, but I think you'd have fun in Culebra. Very laid back and quiet, and GREAT snorkling! There's also St. Thomas, which you can see from Culebra!

Gene,

I have visited St. John several times, Culebra is very similar to St. John. Like St. John, Culebra has beautiful water and beaches, and is not an over commercialized destination.
Both locations are exceptionally clean and crime is very low. As with St. John, Culebra is very quiet (almost dead) at night time. The hotel accommodations in St. John are superior to Culebra. Culebra will not have a resort that compares to the ones on St. John until the Costa Bonita Resort opens this March.

St. John has more upscale (expensive) dinning options, and a better variety of shops.

In my opinion Culebra has better beaches and reefs to snorkel. I definitely recommend Culebra and bet that you can get much more for your money. My family agrees that we have more to do in Culebra than in St. John.

August is a great time to visit, because the Island is not crowded with visitors.

Jeremy
