One of the nicest things about being on Culebra is the many hikes, walks, and outdoor activities that are available. Hiking to Brava Beach is by far one of the most fun things you can do on a trip here.
Yesterday, we had a guest that did not want to go to Flamenco Beach for a fourth day in a row, so we told him that we would walk to Brava with him.
If you are reasonably fit you shouldn’t have any problems doing this walk. The hike in takes about twenty five minutes and is best done in sneakers or Tevas because the trail can get a little muddy.
Remember to bring any water or food along with you because once you get down there you will most likely be the only people and there are no kiosks. Below are some photos from our hike:
The start of the walk to Brava, just park on the side of the road and start hiking.

Coming up to the beach, as seen in the distance (boy is that nicer than looking out the window and seeing a driveway full of snow!).
FINALLY – Brava Beach Culebra, Puerto Rico.
If you have had enough of the cold, come on down to Culebra!!

Because the northeast has been having quite a run of cold, snowy weather lately, I thought it would be a good time to post about ‘Ten Things You Could Be Doing on Culebra Instead of Shoveling Snow:’
1. Snorkel at Carlos Rosario & marvel at the fish & corals
2. Hike to Brava Beach & have the beach all to yourself
3. Take a boat ride to Culebrita with a picnic & cooler
4. Watch the sunset at Melones & drink in the view
5. Have a pina colada here in the Caribbean
6. Lounge in the sun at Zoni Beach & relax the day away
7. Boogie board at Flamenco Beach & catch some fun waves
8. Search for seaside treasures/shells on Tamarindo Beach
9. Explore the outer Cays & Isles on a scuba trip
10. Make a sandcastle (not a snowman :))
The weather has been a perfect 85 degrees lately with a nice breeze and no rain. Come down and visit if you can…

Are you stuck at work? Is it cold and miserable?
