U.S. Military Leaves Tank Stuck On One of the Nicest Beaches in the World
Did you know that the military used to bomb Culebra Island (and Vieques) for target practice?
This is not breaking news but for those of you who are not familiar with Culebra, which is part of the USA, we have a tank stuck in the sand on the northwestern part of Flamenco Beach.
It is a tourist attraction but it just strikes me as odd (funny?) that a beach, which is consistently rated amongst the top five in the world has a tank on it from the U.S. military.
For good measure, the military left a tank on land for us, too.
If you miss the sound of the ocean…here is a video of the tank.
[Thinking of coming to Culebra, give us a call here at the Palmetto Guesthouse]

Wow! I can’t believe how far up the water is to the tank. Last two times I have been to Culebra (once in September, once in May) there was a good twenty feet of sand in front of the tank. Interesting….
