I understand that you can sun in the nude on this island. Where is the best spot

Somewhere VERY remote I guess - like far end of Brava. It's very much against the law - FYI. It's against the law to even go shirtless in town.

I am sure you CAN sun-bathe in the nude just about anywhere.

The question is whether it is 'legal'. I do not know the particular
laws, but
am under the impression that in Puerto Rico, being a Latin country, it
is not
even permitted to go topless (females only) in public.

Since all beaches are per law public I would infer that nudidity is not
permitted there.

So to come back to your question, the best spot would be somewhere
private :).

Enjoy!

I guess the bigger question is how seriously do they enforce the law. Is it considered an insult to their beliefs and culture? In America our views of nudity are warped and considered "bad". Many other countries feel it is a natural way of life. I would expect there to be visitors from many countries in Culebra, not just Americans. As a I will be a "visitor" in 3 weeks, I would like to make sure that I am not going to "insult" or show a lack of respect for the place where I will be staying. I will admit however that as a resident of NYC, I am very intrigued by nude sunbathing in a tropical paradise. The opportunity does not present itself very often here. I would only look for remote and deserted areas to do this but should a police officer show up I want to make sure neither myself nor my husband will be fined or thrown in jail.
BTW-This site has helped me plan out my trip and has provided so much information. Thank you very much

It is against the law to be in the nude on any beach in Puerto Rico. You can't even go topless(women). The law is enforced. Do not do it anywhere in Puerto Rico! Enjoy.

Well maybe not in Culebra but you can on Palomino Island which is a private island owned by the Wyndham El Conquistador Hotel. I asked the desk and they said it is practiced daily.

Enjoy the freedom

i know where some locals swim naked and i'm a little hesitant to say, but here goes;

north west of flamenco beach, past the tank (yes, army tank) stuck in the sand, the shorline gets rocky for half a mile or so. and then there's a totally deserted little beach there. i heard thats where the locals swim naked. i've seen it from the air
