Playa Flamenco
A horseshoe shaped beach on Culebra with white sand and very calm water, ranked among the best in the Caribbean by international lists. It has basic services, kiosks and camping, and at one end sit two rusted military tanks from the years the island was a firing range. Getting there means ferry or small plane to Culebra plus local transport.
Example
The rusted tanks at the end of the beach are not an art installation. They are leftovers from Culebra's military years.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do it as a day trip from San Juan?
It is long but possible by small plane. By ferry from Ceiba the margin is tight and depends on no delays.
Is there food there?
There are kiosks by the beach entrance. Outside high season do not count on it and bring something.
