Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Culebrita Island (Culebra) is a small, one kilometer long uninhabited coral island off the coast of Culebra Island in Puerto Rico. The entire island is a nature reserve and is accessible by boat from Culebra. The island has six magnificent sandy beaches. Playa Tortuga is famous as a breading and feeding ground for turtles, and people can be seen swimming with these gentle giants.
On the east side of the island are large tidal pools that many people use as bathtubs. They are rich in sea life trapped in low tide. There are two small shallow lagoons on the west side of the island and the Culebrita Reef off the southern coast, both of which are great for snorkeling and scuba diving. The island is home to 97 species of plants, 32 birds, four reptiles, and two mammals. The oldest lighthouse in the Caribbean is on Culebrita.
