A couple of posts ago I had written about taking a day trip over to Culebrita as part of the Culebra One Day itinerary series.
Well, today we remembered to take the camera along and below are a few photos:

Thought I would snap some pictures this morning on our daily dog walk to Flamenco Beach and for those of you someplace cold the weather was perfect on Culebra today!
The photo below is the view from the road as we walked towards Flamenco.

After walking the 1.5 miles from the Palmetto Guesthouse this is the view that greeted us at Flamenco Beach.

Last, but not least, walking back from the beach.

If you would like to read the first two recommended “Culebra One Day Activities” then have a look at Biking to Zoni Beach and Visiting Flamenco Beach.
For the final installment in this series on “Culebra One Day Activities,” the day trip is not actually on Culebra, at all.
On the contrary, would you like to spend the day on an island that is even smaller and more pristine than Culebra? Then you should hire a water taxi and think about heading on over to Culebrita Island for some exploration. The island, which is only accessible by boat, has some amazing beaches and boasts the oldest operating lighthouse in the Caribbean.

Culebrita is a coral island approximately one mile in length and there are six beaches there. The primary beach is Playa Tortuga (Turtle Beach) and is so named for the many sea turtles that use the beach as breeding grounds.
The other two large beaches are Trash Beach and West Beach. Trash Beach is on the windward side of the island and debris often blows onto the beach.
There are also large tidal pools on the east side of the island where people lounge as if they were large baths.
If you decide you would like to actually do all three activities and need to stay over on Culebra then give us a call at the Palmetto Guesthouse.
