Culebra, home of the world famous Flamenco Beach, has just been named one of the “Ten Best Islands to Live On” by Islands Magazine.
From the article: “If you think you have to leave your favorite island to return to your “real life,” let us say with the utmost respect … you’re utterly wrong. This could be your real life — a barrier reef outside your front door, a wallaby in your backyard, a vacation smile always on your face. Backing us up are 10 stories from expatriates that you’re about to read as well as our own research into the best islands for inviting culture, enviable weather and available real estate. For any age, any career, any family, there is a perfect island to live on.”

Recently we had some guests visiting one of the beaches here on Culebra and while they were there a nest of about 60-100 sea turtle hatchlings decided to hatch and pursue their evolutionary path down towards the ocean.

I can tell you that the people who were lucky enough to witness this completely unexpected event went home from their Culebra vacation VERY happy.

A couple of weeks ago we finally had a little bit of free time and wound up hiking down to Resaca Beach. Here are a couple of photos.
Here is an aerial shot of some popular north coast Culebra beaches.
