WHERE ARE THE BEACH HOUSES?
Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hi Everyone,

I've stayed in Culebra once in Jan, and I'm coming back with 2 friends on April 22. I stayed at Mamacitas and LOVED it, but I'd like to stay on the beach this time so I can take a late night romantic stroll with my honey. After hours of surfing, I can only find 2 beach houses - Tamarindo and Culebra beach. Is it possible that the most beautiful island on earth only has 2 places to stay on or very near the beach?

Say it ain't so!

Thanks for any feedback - T. Nikki

My answer will be somewhat controversial. Culebra has struggled to maintain the character of its pristine beaches and laid back charm. While all Culebrenses are not in agreement, most have agreed that the unspoiled beaches are Culebra's finest asset and have tried to keep them from becoming a mini-Cancun. It is why I love the place and hopefully it can remain that way.

It is still possible to have your romantic beach-walk. There are a number of vacation rentals that are a short walk to the beach. Many of these are on the hills above Zoni. They are necessarily out of sight of the water, because their lights have a hugely detrimental effect on the survival of nesting endangered hawksbill and leatherback turtles. One reason I know this is because Culebra offers a unique opportunity to get up close and personal with these graceful creatures.

I know you are asking the question because you are new to the Culebra experience. I admit I am saddened by your note because I fear that, as more and more newbies hear about the island without understanding its true character, it will ultimately destroy what makes it great. Hopefully you'll get my point, soon, and help preserve this wonderful place.

Doug

If you want a house near the beach, that costs money, lots of money.
Do not tell me you want a beach house in Culebra for 120.00pn.
Go to Zoni, but better have enough money to pay, Else you have to settle for Tamarindo, or Culebra Beach.
Totally agree with Dough, however, I do not think Culebrenses want to allow the construction of beach houses.
