The Culebrita Lighhouse is a major landmark of the city. It can be seen from a great distance. It was constructed in 1882-1886 by the Spanish Crown to establish sovereignty over Culebra including its surrounding islands towards the Danish and the British. The most fascinating thing about this island city are its beaches. They are one of the finest in the world. Flamenco and Zoni beaches are the most accessible ones. At Flamenco, the beach is completely protected by a reef and is fringed by palm trees providing wide shady areas to the tired travelers. This is an ideal place for swimming, sunbathing, camping, and snorkeling. As you head towards Playa Zoni, you will come across a beautiful island museum. The gentle waves of Playa Zoni are truly a spectacular sight. For a weekend getaway from Culebra, you can travel to the nearby city of Vieques, which has some notable attractions like the Count Mirasol Fort, a 300-year-old ceiba tree, Sun Bay Beach, Puerto Ferro Archaeological Site, and so on. You can make one of the Culebra Puerto Rico vacation rentals as your base to travel to Vieques, as it is only 14 kilometers away from Culebra.
The Windsurfing Competition held in February and the Fishing Tournament in March receives a large number of sporting enthusiasts from around the world. It becomes a bit difficult to get Culebra villas during these months due to heavy rush of tourists. So booking in advance is recommended. Sinc it is secluded from the mainland, the food in Culebra does not have that variety. However, there are a few restaurants and sidewalk frituras that serve some typical island specialties. When it comes to shopping, you will find some superb artworks of the indigenous artists. They are available in the local gift shops- perfect to complement your home decor!
