They have little huts to eat at but only one of them take credit card. And that one doe not have drinks. Now don't rent the jeep its not worth it! Just get the shuttle to the beach for 3 dollers and they will be back to pick you up. The water is so blue and clear I loved it.... More

This company will trick you into renting a jeep or other vehicles by lying obout the most atractive and economic transportation opotions. You can get an AC bus for $5 round trip per person from the ferry dock to the beach. They will tell you that it costs $10 and that they leave you stranded. Not true. I've been coming... More

Flamingo Beach is one if not the most beautiful beack I've ever been in my life. The water is crystal clear, warm and relaxing. The sand reanges from white to golden. The views of the bottom with a snorkler is perfect. You can see other small islands from the shore (St Thomas, vIEQUES and other cays) The only thing that... More

This beach is definitely the most beautiful thing my husband and I have ever seen -- and we are well-traveled. Arrive to Culebra Island early in the day (take the 7am hopper plane instead of the ferry) and it is basically deserted, so you have the beach to yourself. Also, it's huge, so if there are a few other people... More

During a two-month stay in San Juan, I made many side trips, Culebra being one of them. I went specifically because I'd heard about Flamenco Beach. I stayed a night on the island to have more time to enjoy it. It is an absolutely gorgeous beach. The sand is pure and white, the beach is wide and long, and the... More

The rating depends on what you want to do. On a calm day, it's about a 2 or 3 on a 5 scale for snorkeling. On a rough day, it's 0 as in dangerous to try it. If you want to play in the waves and be beat around some, it's a 4 on a rough day. If you want... More

Everything was great! The climate, the scenery, the people, the weather, the beaches, the food. I would go back anytime in the near future

It's true. Impossibly clear water, white sand bottom, turquoise waves crashing on shore. You can find spots with waves or calm water. Really wonderful.

I enjoyed people watching here. There are many food and beverage choices at the kiosks. Public transportation to here from Dewey is three dollars each way. The camping area is a neat place. Makes you wish you would have brought your camping gear to stay right here at the beach. The water is a beautiful turquoise, the sand so white,... More

The most beautiful beach I have ever seen. Lots of fun with waves for kids to play in and then there is another part that doesn't have as much waves. Clean, food available, beautiful. Worth the ferry ride over.
