Playa Zoni, Beach in Culebra, Puerto Rico
Description
Playa Zoni is a beach on Culebra's northeastern shore with white sand backed by green hills and facing open waters. The coastline curves gently, creating a natural cove sheltered from strong currents.
History
The area served as a naval training ground for the United States military until 1975, when control transferred to Puerto Rico. This transition opened the location to public access.
Culture
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices by launching their boats from this beach to catch fresh fish for neighboring communities.
Practical
The beach has no facilities, so bring your own water, food, and sun protection before arriving. A car is advisable to reach this location, as public transportation options are limited.

Sea turtles nest regularly here between April and June, making it a critical breeding ground for endangered marine species. Early morning walks during these months may reveal tracks or nesting activity along the sand.
