We did our research on this beach and decided to fly in instead of taking the ferry--a great choice, as we heard from another couple that the ferry ride can be super bumpy depending on the waves. If it fits your budget, the plane ride is only 30 minutes, and we flew with VIEQUES Air Link. After landing, we walked about a block to pick up our golf cart rental and headed straight to the beach. Entrance was $2 per person, and parking for 6 hours was about $7.50--they accept both cash and credit cards. They also offer beach equipment rentals, including chairs and umbrellas. There were three vendors open--two food stalls and one cocktail bar. However, be prepared to dine alongside roosters, chickens, and cats, as they freely roam the beach and outdoor dining areas. Despite that, the staff was incredibly friendly. There are lockers available for rent, but unfortunately, they were closed on the day we visited. The beach itself was stunning--super clean, no seaweed, and not too many high waves. There is a long stretch of shoreline where fewer people went into the water due to slightly rougher waves, but overall, the beach is pristine, with incredible colors. The water was pleasantly warm, even in February. The atmosphere was peaceful--no loud music, beer keg stands, or rowdy crowds--and everyone respected each other's space. It wasn't crowded like many public beaches in Puerto Rico. If you're visiting for just a day or staying on the island, I highly recommend this beach for a serene and beautiful getaway!
Every 5* review is right. This beach is awesome. I lived and worked in the Caribbean for years. Let me tell you, few beaches are of this caliber. The main competitors are St. John and some of the Vieques beaches. Still, this really has it all: 1) Crystal clear water; 2) Relatively calm tides; 3) soft, white sand. Not only that, where else could you see a rusted out tank just sitting in the ocean!? Pretty epic and unique. Facilities here were pretty good too. Showers, restrooms, bar/food, snorkel rentals, etc. Does it deserve to be on the best beaches list? Absolutely. Is it the best? Probably not. But, it's very good. Main downside is getting there. I did a Vieques Air Link flight from Ceiba (15 minutes on a 6 person plane) and it wasn't too difficult. But, it is a little more effort than just mainland Puerto Rico.
Ranked as one of the top beaches in the world, Flamenco is a postcard-perfect stretch of white sand and turquoise waters. First thing first - reaching there is a pain - means a) Rent a car- 50 KM- 60-70 Mins ride b) Reach Ceiba -would suggest booking ferry tickets in advance (gets sold out quickly, especially on Weekends) 50 Minutes Ferry ride to Culebra Island c) $5 shuttle to Flamenco beach, as its a popular beach, you will get a shared taxi outside the terminal It takes app 4-5 hrs and then you will reach there but trust me, that beach is worth it. The moment we saw this, we were like - "wowwwwwww" The horseshoe-shaped silver beach is indeed picture-postcard pretty, but it can get crowded on the weekends. We went there on Tuesday so there was not much rush. It does have amenities though: the only beach on Culebra that does. Beach is practically wave-less, which makes it ideal for snorkeling, swimming, unwinding, playing in the sand, or simply beach-bumming. If you were to spend the entire day at Flamenco, you'll observe a spectacular show of color changes on the water, ranging from clear like glass, soft baby blue to turquoise to deep emerald green. We hit it at 2 PM, with amazing colors. also what amazed me- it's sand. The sand of Flamenco is light, white, soft, very fine, unlike Escambron-Condado beach. perfectly landscaped shore with green rolling hills as the backdrop, lush tropical plants providing shade to visitors While you're there, don't miss your chance to bump into Flamenco's most iconic attraction, The Tank, which is a reminder of the US Navy's occupancy of Culebra. Food & Drink: there are 2 food trucks near to beach offering local food and drinks. How to reach there by Car- If you are planning to Visit Playa Flamenco and come back to San Juan then I would suggest taking route 3while going and Route 187 while coming back. a couple of reasons for this- 1) Take Route-3. You wanna save money on toll skipping Route-66 (no sense paying rental company for its transponder and $10/day) 2) while coming back to San Juan, take Route 3 & 187. Its Scenic route 3) On Route-187 - Pinones area which is famous for its street/roadside small/decent food joint - you don't wanna miss if you are a foodie or 20-minute flight
Wow. As an avid travel geek, I have seen my fair share of beaches in my life. None, however, compare to the sheer beauty that is Flamenco Beach!! The intensely blue water, pristine sand, and sheer remoteness of this beach all make for one of the most calming and relaxing places to take in the sights of sand and sea on this planet! (It's no wonder it's rated so highly!) We had arrived on the first ferry over, so were the first and only people on the beach on a beautiful, sunny morning. It also helped that we took the ferry over on a weekday to avoid weekend crowds. The sand is fine and pristine as far as the eye can see. I'm used to San Francisco's Ocean Beach which is covered with rocks, twigs, and the occasional Dorito's bag, so the seemingly untouched shoreline was such a pleasant surprise. The water is shallow enough for wading for many, many feet out, making it the perfect place to splash around and sunbathe. Later in the day I saw some people snorkeling, so apparently there are cool places to see fish as well. I had such a great time floating belly-up on the AMF-tinted water, with a very gentle breeze keeping me cool while the sun beamed down. Lastly, there are a few kiosks selling bites and drinks (just in case you need even -more- piña coladas in your system while visiting.) If you're able to find shade or bring a small umbrella, it's quite nice to have a picnic beachside after a few hours of swim. There's also one picnic table on the beach if you walk towards the tanks which we set our stuff up on, though you have to be there early to snag it. I can't help but gush about this place and now understand why there are so many damn poems and songs about the sea. You'll definitely be inspired if you come here ahead of the crowds during the right weather. If I could give this place 10 stars on Yelp I would! Enjoy!!
It was beautiful. But watch your stuff. There was a guy who was selling the rent umbrellas watching my my stuff while I went to wash off. Had a weird feeling about him. Just be mindful. But it was the most beautiful beach ever.
We had an awesome time at this beach. The setting, and and water are beautiful and by far the best of all beaches in Culebra. Kiosks are lacking when it comes to cocktails. Food is not too bad. Chairs and umbrellas $20 each, which after after dishing out over $100 (plus $100 deposit) for a golf cart for the day will make a dent in your pocket. So try to bring your chairs or at least a cooler with your fav libations)
Flamenco Beach can be divided into two. There is the western part, which is the general public area. Here you will find several kiosks serving food and drinks, public showers and bathrooms, picnic tables, camping grounds, and the famous tanks, left behind when the US Navy ceased using the area as a practice bombing range. They make for great photo ops. This part of the beach is generally more crowded and livelier than the eastern part. Also, from the parking lot you can take a road that will lead you to Carlos Rosario Beach for some great snorkeling. The eastern part of the beach is quieter. It is mainly used by guests staying at Culebra Beach Villas and Villa Flamenco Beach. Anyone can come to this side, but the parking is for guests only and unless you are a guest you can't cross the resorts to get to the beach. You have to go around the properties. Also, taxis generally don't drop people off here, only the public area. Recently, boats and catamarans offering day trips from Fajardo anchor on the eastern or middle part of the beach. O. The far east end of the beach there is decent snorkeling. I usually hang out on this side because I usually stay at Culebra Beach Villas when I come to Culebra. I love Flamenco Beach. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Great memories. It is the nicest beach on the mainland. Tortuga Beach on Culebrita may rival it for nicest in all of Culebra. The sand at Flamenco is nice and soft. There is plenty of sand so you can play beach soccer, football, and even volleyball (if you bring your own net). The water is warm and calm. When there is strong wind you may even get to catch some decent waves on a bodyboard. Great beach for skimboarding too. Unfortunately, it has not been immune to climate change. Lots of seaweed has washes up to shore and ruins it beauty and creates murky waters. Still, it remains a great beach to spend the day. The public area is currently going through renovations. The design looks nice. As such, all but two kiosks are closed. The ones that still operate are Kiosko de Mami and Kiosko #6. There is also an ice cream cart. Also, I believe the campgrounds are closed. Once it is allowed again, I recommend camping overnight. It is fun.
There is a reason this is a world top 20 beach. The sand is soft and the water is crystal clear. Because it is not easy to get to (have to take a ferry) the beach is not very crowded. This is definitely worth the trip.
Incredibly beautiful beach I went with my family, water's a nice cool temperature and there wasn't a cloud in sight! Some friendly fish will also swim around you, and you'll even be able to see them above water without goggles. Like any beach there's of course some mosquitos, bugs, and harsh sun so make sure to bring plenty of repellent and sunblock. Absolutely worth the trip to Culebra if you have the chance!
A wonderful beach with clear water and white clean sand with developed infrastructure, here you can buy food, drinks, ice cream. The entrance to the beach costs $2 per person, $5 per car
Absolutely beautiful! Great way to spend the day! Bring everything with you for a beach day or buy/rent it there. Everything you need food, drink, umbrella or chair rentals it's got it all.
Flamenco beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Beautiful white sand and turquoise warm water. There are bathrooms, food vendors, showers, umbrella rentals and lots of sun. I would say that there are 2 sections to this beach. There's the area that has coral and this makes the waves smaller. This area is perfect for families with small kids, snorkel, and to chill. To right there is section 2 where the waves can get very big. It's fun if you have a bodyboard or like to play in big waves. Do not turn your back on the ocean. Every now and then a big wave comes and puts you in a spin cycle. Love this beach.
This beach is AHHHMAZING 10/10 So thankful and grateful I was able to spend an entire day here at this beach on the island of Culebra Sand is soft, water is clear and not too cold Entrance is $2, you can rent a chair and umbrella, there is a lifeguard on duty There are vendors selling drinks, food and souvenirs This was a day well spent! read more

Breathtaking, speechless, in awe, jaw dropping views! Flamenco Beach in Culebra has my heart. After going through the nightmare of trying to purchase our Culebra ferry tickets on the spot, being sold out online and in person, we finally were able to purchase some tickets during the week the only time being the 4:45 am ferry. It was stuuuuuupid early but craaaaaazy worth it. One of the smoothest ferry rides, got there right on time to hop on one of the shuttles transportation that takes you directly to flamenco beach for only $3 per person. Once you arrive at Flamenco Beach there's a mandatory $2 per person you must pay at the gate in order to receive admission to the beach area. You get a pink wristband to keep for the day. There are little food kiosks you can purchase food from like empanadas and stuff like that. There's also some bomb spots for hard drinks. Areas where they rent snorkeling gear from $5-$15. Kayaking and more! Fresh coconut water always available for like $3 from a local. Camping on site is a must! You get to camp right on the sand just a few steps from the beach. Downfall: restrooms are GROSS!!! Flies and roaches everywhere and everything is disgusting with no soap. Outdoor showers available they're just out in the open and easy to rinse off after a beach day. We made it to Flamenco Beach right before 6am. Nothing like taking a quiet peaceful nap (or walk) while it's nice and empty. The views were breathtaking and watching the sunrise (not literally but just watching it turn to day) was just amazing. Once the sun hits and it starts warming up there's just no more for you to do but fall in love with the crystal clear, turquoise natural pool in this amazing island. Make sure to bring snorkeling gear or at least rent it out. It's SO worth it! There are many coral reefs you can explore and it's just an amazing experience. Culebra, you have my heart. The water will just make you never want to leave. No waves, just calm, pure perfection. read more

One of my favorite beaches period. It's very beautiful. The water is warm and clear. It's perfect for relaxing, playing sports, bodyboarding, and even some snorkeling. We stayed at Culebra Beach Villas and everyday we spent the whole day at the beach. Nothing like filling the yeti with vodka and a mixer and sipping it in the water. I bought my son a bodyboard from La Galeria de Regalos. He loved it. My husband helped him ride some waves. He even enjoyed the wipe outs. read more
Love at first sight. The number one spot in my heart of the Top 3 beaches in Puerto Rico is located on the Island of Culebra. It has soft waves, great for snorkeling. I tied myself to the anchor of the boat and I spent hours sun bathing floating on my back. I don't recall ever being so amazed by a beach and I have visited a few Islands, including the ones in Greece. The water is crystal clear, the sand is gorgeous as well. I found shade but this probably wouldn't have been the case had Covid not be keeping the tourists away. The Island was practically empty and the entire scenery was mine. You can get here via ferry, plane, or excursions. However you choose, make sure you get here. read more

Definitely has huge potential. Unfortunately after an hour of arriving it was pouring rain. There was massive amounts of seaweed. For the one second I was able to put on my googles and look around, it was so crystal clear! Amazing! I wish I had the chance to snorkel. The ferry getting there was a lot of anxiety as I had to purchase my tickets a month in advance. I even bought tickets for two days just in case the weather wasn't good. Took a taxi van charged 5$ a person to flamenco from the ferry. I'd definitely go again, probably not during stormy season. Maybe it was the storms that brought all that seaweed? Next time I'd definitely take a catamaran which should cost somewhere around $100, considering a flight would cost about $60 one way. read more

The absolutely most beautiful beach I have ever been on. The best company I've ever had going to any beach either , lol,,, this should be on everyone's bucket list no doubt ,,, there is a small fee , you can take your golf carts or jeeps out to get in ,,, there were two kiosks serving food and a place you could rent chairs and umbrellas read more
So glad we came here and checked it out from Puerto Rico. We took a small plane from Puerto Rico via Vieques Air Link and flew to Culebra. We had a golf cart rental we rented from the airport and checked out the island. It was great. We spent time on Flamenco Beach, it was absolutely stunning. That water! We relaxed, got some snacks at the snack bar and hung out until we ventured around the island on our golf cart. Very pleased we went. We didn't go out to the tanks as the way the tide was but we could see them. Highly recommend a trip to check out Flamenco beach if in Puerto Rico. read more
This is the most gorgeous beach I have ever seen. White sands & crystal blue waters. Discovery Channel named it the world's 2nd most beautiful beach a few years ago. We took a van from our hotel in Old San Juan to Fajardo for $20/pp each way. Then we took the ferry from Fajardo to Culebra for $2.50 each way. Really pretty ride...try to get a seat outside though as the ship's cabins are FREEZING. About 1.5 hours. Once you arrive, you can pick up a shuttle bus/taxi for $3 a person to the beach - about a 5 minute ride. Taxis come fairly regularly, but you can always grab the card of our driver. You can't get beer by the beach, so load up beforehand. Also, don't bring any glass bottles as there is a hefty fine. When you arrive there are many kioskos where you can get the MOST DELICIOUS mahi mahi pinchos (meat on a stick) for just $6. They also have water, pina colada's...etc., Camping seems to be fairly easy and the grounds are located right behind the beach. There are also a variety of guest houses where you can stay (I've heard really good things about Palmetto's http://www.palmettoculebra.com/). Be sure to check out the two tanks (you can climb them as well, but be careful). If you walk behind the Kioskos, there is a trail which will take you to a smaller beach (Carlos Rosario) that has calmer waters, less populated & supposedly great for snorkeling. The downside is that it's rockier with less sand to lay out on. It's a decent walk - about 20 minutes or so up & downhill. Check out the stars as they are magnificent! Lastly, while sleeping sans sleeping bag & tent on the beach may sound like a good idea...it's not as it gets very chilly late at night. read more

Very relaxing, blue water, clean and relaxing! I could not believe how clean the water is, and how white the sand is, parking is plenty, a charge of $2 per person is applied plus $5 per vehicle at the gate. Once parked there is some kind of a shop/ food court area with everything you need from beers, headache pills, sunscreen to snorkeling gear. read more
One of most beautiful beaches I've ever visited! Do yourself a favor and take a little time to do your research. If traveling there from San Juan, PR it's a short (45min) ferry ride to the island of Culebra. Then a taxi to the Flamenco Beach. You can purchase tickets online for the ferry but the taxi will be cash (6 dollars per person round trip). The beach has food vendors, chair & umbrella rentals, restrooms and plenty of places to get tropical drinks. Now for the beach...it's incredible. Exactly what you would expect from a Caribbean beach. The water is crystal clear, clean and when the sun hits the colors explode! Photos do not capture the beauty even though I tried to take as many as possible. They still have tanks on the beach from when the military did testing there years ago. Please remember this is not a 5 star resort so if your looking to get pampered and have someone bring you Pina Coladas then this is not for you. If your looking for a adventure and dive into a cultural experience and enjoy one of the best beaches in the Caribbean then saddle up read more
If you get to no other places in culebra, you have to come here. You can rent chairs and even umbrellas but they're not necessary. Go to the left and walk down a bit and it's a bit less occupied. You'll find more palm trees right on the beach with a little shade. Even on a busy Sunday, this beach is so long that it didn't look that crowded. Do walk all the way to the painted tank for a photo op... And before the one on the edge of the water, there's another abandoned tank left by the US army behind the beach as well. We didn't try the food vendors, but the parcha and coconut ice cream was wonderful at $2 for a small cone or cup. Yum! Also plenty of parking, bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, etc etc read more

Beautiful place. One of my favorite beaches now. It reminds me of Punta Cana Dominican Republic. The sand is white and soft and feels as carpet. Seemed pretty safe, not too crowded , until Midday, there's guards at the entrance and some life guards by the water. The beach is clean, water is so clear one can see the bottom and the fish swimming right next to you. There's a camping option , very big premises with several available bathrooms and showers. The entrance has many different vendors of local inexpensive foods, beer , gifts , swimming gear, toys, and more immediate necessities. You can bring your own chair/ umbrellas , but can also rent anything you may need right at the beach for $5 a day. Beach opens early ( we arrive at 7am) and pretty much stayed the entire day. Parking is free at the entrance. read more

The best beach I have visited! Great for morning walks. It's long, private, clean and just plain gorgeous!! The water is clear, the sand is soft, powdery white! No rocks or shells. It's s must see and experience. There are kiosks for food, showers, lockers. There are campers along the far side of the beach. You can rent umbrella and chairs from local vendors. Only 2 places to stay on Flamenco. I recommend Flamenco Beach Villas - spectacular! read more
This beautiful beach is in Flamenco Beach located in the islands of Puerto Rico. I went snorkeling the whole day and so happy for this adventure. I saw many fish I had never seen before and saw beautiful coral reef that actually took hundreds of years to produce according to the snorkeling professionals. The sun was great and the beach was exquisite. Sand is soft and almost white. The water is aqua blue and on some parts of the shore crystal clear. Flamenco Beach is very private and family oriented. I will definitely continue to making visits when I'm Puerto Rico. read more
