Culebra Blog

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.”

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…
