Flamenco is only one of many unspoiled, pristine beaches on isla Culebra where you can enjoy blissful solitude as you swim in the blue-green waters or explore some of the most stunning coral reef formations in the Caribbean. Until 1975 the isle of Culebra was used for naval military exercises; ergo, abandoned tanks and other military relics dot the area west of Flamenco Beach. But don't let that deter you from visiting Culebra, since you'll find interesting photographic material among the remnants of naval machinery.

Lodging choices on Culebra include a campground and several small inns in the town of Dewey. You can make the long hike to Flamenco Beach, or take a público (public car) from town. However you arrive, you will have discovered a slice of paradise.
