Highly recommended and a must see attraction on the island of Culebra. The water was great with no undertow and beautiful white sand.
This beach is a beautiful as it gets but is a very busy beach as far as Puerto Rico goes.If you are in the area it is worth the time time to stop. The snorkeling is very nice at both ends of the beach.
如果你在这里足够的早-你可以自己参观整个地方。这里有几个漂亮的阴暗角落,释放热量出来。但是,一旦出租车开始带来渡轮的人群-是时候移动到塔玛琳或佐尼了!
这家公司会骗你租吉普车或者其他的交通工具是最棒最经济的出行选择。从渡船码头到海滩乘AC公车来回每人5美元就可以了。这家公司的人会跟你说要十美元,让你无所适从,不对。很多年前我去过这个地方,根本就不划算。如果你租一辆车的话,取车及还车要各花35美元。整个岛上只有两家加油站。五个小时他们收费45美元,这五个小时还要扣除取车,还车的一个多小时的时间。在海滩上的时间只有三个小时。坐公交车的话,不要担心,你可以玩五个小时,而且四个人只要20美元就够了。
我们最近去波多黎各(Puerto Rico)时,到库莱布拉岛(Culebra Island)来了个一日游,去了弗拉门戈海滩(Flamenco Beach)。海滩很美丽。软软的细沙,碧蓝的海水。几乎没什么海浪。这里有一些珊瑚,可以带水肺潜水去观赏,不过不要以为这会是一次非常独特的潜水冒险。如果你追求的是这种感觉,那这里不适合你。不过在这处海滨度过一天也会很愉快,可以躺下放松,或者去海里游泳玩耍。我们是周五去的,没有很多人。这里有几个小摊儿,你可以买到吃的,当午餐的话非常美味,不过一定要带着现金。乘坐渡轮去库莱布拉岛非常有趣,幸运的是,我是去看望一位住在波多黎各的朋友,所以她对这些一清二楚。早去一些,这样你可以在海滨享受好几个小时。我们到达后乘坐的上午十点的渡轮,行程大概是45分钟。要留意的是,排队上渡轮之前,你要先去渡轮站点的马路对面买票。你买到票后就可以去渡轮站点排队了。到了库莱布拉岛之后,你需要乘坐班车去弗拉门戈海滩,来回是31元人民币,大概下午四点他们会把你接回来。所以你可以乘坐五点出发的渡轮回到波多黎各。这绝对是非常有趣、非常放松的一天。带上防晒霜!
这里有一些卖吃的东西的小屋子,但只有其中一家可以用信用卡,而且这家还没有饮料。还有,不要租吉普车,一点都不值!只是把车开到海滩边就要3美元,当然了,他们会回来接你。海水特别蓝,我非常喜欢。我是跟团去的,一共3天!
It is definitely worth the trouble to go to Culebra for the day. This beach is simply stunning, and the only beach I have ever been to that comes close to its beauty is Mauna Kea on the Big Island of Hawaii. Playa Flamenco is better- much fewer people, and better body surfing waves.The water was warm and clear, and together with the white sand made for stunning photos. The waves were perfect for body surfing and boogie boarding, and I didn't see my kids all day while we were here. They never left the water!There is a hotel farther down the beach from where the day trippers land, but it didn't interfere with our enjoyment of the day. On the very far right side of the beach there were 3 snorkeling cruises that arrived and stayed for an hour or two, but the passengers came nowhere near where we were.I understand that this place used to have no services, but now there are food trucks in the parking lot and you can buy water and meals if you didn't bring anything. This beach is still very far off the beaten path, and immensely enjoyable in terms of crowds, natural beauty, and wave quality. Ssshhh, don't tell anyone, so we can keep it that way!
My friend and I spent an afternoon here the day after our cruise ended. The trip from San Juan is definitely out of the way, but totally worth it! I got a little sea sick on the boat ride from Fajardo, but the beach more than made up for it. I wish we could've stayed longer! Flamenco is absolutely beautiful. The water is so clear and surrounding area is untouched for the most part. It feels secluded from tourists activities, although there were quite a few people there. Don't let the crowds deter you though, it is a must see!! Can't wait to come back.
Has some algae (seaweed). Sometimes the waves can be rough at certain areas and a couple of timeswe had the stream make it difficult to return easly to shore. The beach should not be develop any further not to become a too developed since that's actually the charm of culebra. Maybe some facilities should be just remodeled or improved, just that. Should not give too much publicity or will be spoiled. Only considerate people (individuals with a nature conservative conciousness or peopke that enjoy it but who cares also. Should be prohibited to unconcious individuals who are selfish and do not care about taking care of protecting nature and environment! God bless Culebra!!
On 3/3/15 my husband and I took the ferry from Farjado PR to Culebra. We had one destination in mind; Flamenco beach. We heard how beautiful it was and had to see it for ourselves. All the reviews that say it is stunning were correct. The sand was white and soft and the waters were the most beautiful aqua I have ever seen. Couple of pointers: 1) The ferry was ROUGH. No matter how much Dramamine costs, buy it. There is actually a man on the boat handing out barf bags. The beginning of the trip was calm, but as you get farther out it get VERY choppy. We sat on the top deck and got completely soaked. There was not a dry ounce of clothing on anyone sitting near us. It was like a scene out of "Deadliest Catch" when you see the boat in the rough seas. Several people were huddled in the back and they were so sea-sick. I felt bad for them. Even if you NEVER get sea-sick, you may if you do not take Dramamine. Now I have only traveled to and from once so the trip over may not be that bad all the time, but the fact they have an employee prepared with barf bags is a pretty good indicator. The trip back was fine. The seas were not rough, and it seemed no one was getting sick. 2) If you want to reserve ferry tickets, you must do it at least 10 days prior. You cannot other wise. We wanted to watch the weather so we bought tickets at the terminal the day of the trip. What we read was accurate; you must get there early. We were there 6:30-6:45 AM and there were about 20 people in front of us. Tickets sell out fast, so getting there early is a must. Also, be sure to buy a round trip ticket. The ferry we went on left at 9 AM and came back at 5 PM. You can check the times online. 3) When you arrive in Culebra, there are plenty of vans waiting to take people to the beach. It was $3 pp one way or $5 pp round trip. They have a few pick-up times from the beach. We opted for a 3 PM pick-up from the beach for we figured we could do some shopping near the terminal. When we got back there at 3:15, there was nothing open, and no shops to shop in. 4) When entering the beach, go far left or far right. Nothing wrong with finding the first available spot when you walk in but the beach is so pretty if you spread out. 5) Chairs and umbrellas were available. The chairs were not lounge chairs but were Tommy Bahama beach chairs. Very comfortable! They were $5 each. We did not rent an umbrella so I cannot comment on that. 6) There were food/alcohol kiosks that were open. Food was delicious and very reasonable. Although they were open while we were there, some commented on TA that they were closed while they were there. Beside the crazy ferry trip on the way over, I am glad we went. It certainly was stunning!
