Bahia Marina
Culebra, Puerto Rico

I have reservations for 3 days / 2 night for Bahia Marina (http://www.islaculebra.com/puerto-rico/bahia-marina.htm). I was wondering if anyone can give me their honest opinion about the place. Additionally, how far is it from the beaches (especially Flamenco, Tamarindo, Zoni, Carlos Rosario and Playa Tortuga)? Is there any beaches within walking distance? Thank you!

There are no beaches within walking distance of Bahia Marina. It sits up on a hill outside of town. Flamenco would be a 10 minute drive or so ... if you hit all the lights. ;-) Zoni more like a 20 minute drive as it is on the other side of the island.

If you are fit enough to tackle the hill, you are approximately a 20-30 minute walk from Punta Soldado. This is a lovely Virgin Island 'shell' beach with decent snorkling. Very little shade, so I like to go there in the morning or late afternoon, which has the added advantage of eye-popping sunsets. There are many coral remnants to navigate when entering the water so be sure to work with your kids to find a safe path.

Really, what has Frank been smoking? Oh, right, noodles. Agree with Doug - I know some residents in the area that walk farther than from Bahia Marina to go to Soldado, and it's a beautiful snorkeling area. I once saw an entire school of baby squid at the surface there; something I will never forget.

Happy Diving!

As usual, Doug and Debbie have shown their island knowledge to far surpass mine. Either that, or I'm just lazy. Upon further consideration, these are not mutually exclusive possibilities. I recline corrected.
