Beautiful beach! Kiosks near the parking lot offering everything from breakfast to cocktails. You can rent umbrellas for the beach for $10, and also lounge chairs if you need them. Lifeguards on duty if that's a concern.

If you get here early enough - you can have the whole place to yourself. A few nice shady nooks to relax out of the heat. But once the taxis start bringing the ferry crowd in - time to move to Tamarindo or Zoni!!

On my recent trip to Puerto Rico, we took a day trip to Culebra Island and went to Flamenco Beach. The beach itself is beautiful. Soft sand and blue water. Their are barely any waves. There is some coral to go snorkeling but don't think that it is going to be this spectular snorkeling adventure. If you are looking for... More

Food and drink at the kiosks not bad, and reasonable. Didn't find any snorkeling. Some natural shade spots.

No trip to Culebra is complete without visiting this beach. It is stunning. Plenty of room on the beach and in the calm water. Good facilities. My husband and I rented bicycles and rode here from town more than once. It's a workout, but doable fun. You can also take a shuttle bus.

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
