Taking a boat is necessary to reach this beach, but the effort is worthwhile due to the exceptional snorkeling experience it offers in Culebra. What truly distinguishes this place is its remarkable visibility. Abundant fish, impressive depths, and sandy bottoms contribute to the overall appeal. Notably, we were fortunate enough to spot remarkable creatures like the great barracuda and a stunning spotted eagle ray.

The snorkeling experience right off the beach was incredible. During my recent trip to Hawaii, I discovered that the reef here was even more vibrant and diverse compared to any I encountered in Honolulu or the North Shore. Despite its small size, the beach itself was absolutely stunning. I highly recommend visiting.
