Some of our guests had the good fortune to be on Zoni Beach the other afternoon when a female leatherback turtle came in to lay her eggs.
Here are some of their pictures -
You can also see more of the leatherback photos on our Palmetto Guesthouse Flickr site.
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.”

Thanks Jennica! And if you are coming to Culebra please consider staying with us here at the Palmetto Guesthouse.
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.
