If it’s cold, snowy, and miserable where you are, Nathan and Becky Smit were in Culebra recently (staying at the Palmetto Guesthouse) and they shot this fantastic video.

During the course of the seven minute video Nathan has captured video and photos from Flamenco Beach, Resaca Beach, Zoni Beach, Carlos Rosario Beach, and Tamarindo…really great stuff!

When people think about Culebra as a holiday destination, or daydream during the cold winter months about being on a Caribbean beach, one name consistently stands out, Flamenco Beach (Playa Flamenco). Easily accessible via a 5 minute taxi ride from the ferry dock or a two minute taxi ride from the airport this long expanse of powdery white sand and turquoise water has an awful lot to offer the Culebra visitor. Whether you want to relax and read a book, people watch, or go for a long walk Playa Flamenco has it all.

If you google Flamenco Beach you will soon realize one thing right away…Playa Flamenco consistently ranks as one of the top beaches in the world. As an example one website, thisisthelife.com states, “Playa Flamenco is the quintessential Caribbean beach, postcard-perfect in its beauty with blazingly white sand and gently lapping waves, impossibly azure waters.”

Adding to its general appeal, Playa Flamenco is also part of the prestigious Blue Flag Beach program. The Blue Flag organization works towards sustainable development at beaches and marinas through strict criteria dealing with water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety and other services. More information on what it takes to be a part of this movement and the criteria can be found here Blue Flag Guidelines.
