Playa Manzanilla

Been going to Culebra for almost 20 years, but have never tried to access Playa Manzanilla. To me that area is just for boats and bonefishermen. But I'm curious, is there a beach there that's accessible from walking? Our place is on the road out to Zoni by the road to mosquito bay, and if we could wander down there it might be a fun hike for the family. Thanks and love Culebra.

Drew, I must admit, I do not know which beach that is. Are you talking between Pela and Mosquito?

Enjoy Culebra!

Hi Michael,

Yes! If you look at google maps, it calls that spot Playa Manzanilla. I'd never heard that either. I often hike from the main road to the road up above that spot, but have never ventured down that winding road to the beach...I'm not sure if it's private or not. There's another road there that looks like it leads past several houses and down to the little spit of land that separates "Manzanilla" from Pela. Do you know if that land is private or can you walk down on the small peninsula? It's probably too rough, but I wonder if I could wade out to the flats from there...

Thanks!

Well, as you know, there are no private beaches, just the land behind it ... So in case there was trouble, you walked along the shore!

In other words, I do not know ...

Enjoy Culebra!

True, but you do have to get there! Some of the roads are private. I can't imagine walking all the way around to the left from Mosquito Bay...at least, I've never tried.

Comparing google earth and this map http://www.mapquest.com/maps?city=Culebra&state=PR , it looks like its very possible to get there. Also, it only looks like about a mile trek from mosquito, maybe a little more. Shoot man, just be adventurous and find out!

drive fast and take chances

I didn't say 'walk there along the beach' I said, 'in case someone asks ..' :)

Enjoy Culebra!
