Flamenco Beach, Public beach on Culebra island, Puerto Rico.
The white sand beach extends for one mile along a horseshoe-shaped bay with clear turquoise water and minimal waves for swimming.
The United States Navy utilized Culebra as a military training site until 1975, leaving behind tanks which now stand as distinctive landmarks.
Local food vendors at beachside kiosks prepare traditional Puerto Rican dishes including fresh seafood, rice, beans, and tropical fruit smoothies.
Visitors can reach Flamenco Beach via ferry from mainland Puerto Rico to Culebra, followed by a short taxi ride to the shoreline.
The combination of military remnants painted with colorful designs against the natural beach setting creates an unexpected historical exhibition.

Under the Caribbean sun, the beaches still seem to breathe to the rhythm of the sea. Some are renowned for their clear waters, others for their silence or the presence of turtles coming to nest at night. From Aruba to Cuba, from Saint Barthélemy to Puerto Rico, these protected shores blend golden sand, coral reefs, and palm forests. Here, the sea stretches endlessly, waves fade into calm lagoons, and fishing villages retain their tranquil appearance. These beaches are more than just beautiful—they tell a different story of travel, slower and closer to nature. Between bright skies, warm breezes, and an unobstructed horizon, the Caribbean reveals its truest character.
Puerto Rico contains many natural pools, historical sites and remote beaches. Natural wonders include waterfalls, caves with petroglyphs, bioluminescent bays, and salt flats. Historical sites feature lighthouses, Spanish fortresses, and indigenous ceremonial centers. The island offers natural pools for swimming, coastal hiking paths, and protected forest reserves.
