Puerto Rico - Day 11: May 8th

This will be our first and only full day in Culebra. We started out by walking a few blocks away from our guest house to Carlos Jeep Rental to rent a jeep. It actually pays off to rent a vehicle on this island since there are so many beaches, and they are so spread apart. Our first trek was to Zoni beach. In order to get there, we had to take back roads, and sometimes dirt roads only wide enough to fit one car, but once we got there, it all paid off. Zoni Beach was amazing. The sand was warm, the water was crystal clear, and there were only about 6 people on the whole beach. We had it ALL to ourselves. After some swimming, and a little makeshift snorkeling, we got back in the jeep and headed towards Brava Beach. This, didn't turn out so well. Our guidebook "Let's Go: Puerto Rico" told us it would be a short drive, only a 20 minute hike to the beach, and there would be some great turtle watching. The drive was fine, but the hiking was horrible. We made it about 30 minutes in to the hike, before the tail got so bad and impassable that we had to turn around and head back to the jeep. From there, we head to Flamenco Beach. We arrived at the beach around five p.m. and because of that, no one was there. To be honest, I didn't find the beach that spectacular. I thought Zoni Beach was nicer. We spent a little while at the beach then headed back home to shower up, and then head over to Mamacita's for dinner.
