The beach was gorgeous and boasts a great deal of sea life. During snorkeling we got to see turtles, fish and sting rays.
We rented snorkeling equipment and went around 9 am on a weekday morning in February. There were very few people in the water. We saw plenty of fish, a few sting rays, and, of course, sea turtles. The beach is beautiful and it is easy to get to. We walked along the rocky shoreline a bit in order to go in where the sea grass starts and limit the swimming. If you go to Culebra, this is a can't-miss stop!
Maybe it was just bad timing, but we arrived by golf cart to join about 20 people on shore waiting to get in their kayaks and or don their snorkel gear, no parking even for a golf cart and along came a boat with another 20 or so perspective snorkelers. Poor fish!!
Be careful if you lay on the rocky side of the beach. Ants will eat you a alive. Snorkeling, head for sand with sea weeds and you should soon find turtles in 5 foot or water or so, so very easy to take pictures / video. Also took great shoots of squids with all their iridescent colors.
Day tripped to Culebra from mainland. We brought our own snorkeling gear and were told by the locals that Playa Tamarindo is the best snorkeling beach. It was wonderful!
There were palm trees for shade, a nice beach for walking on, and good snorkeling. We saw a ray, a number of fishes, and several turtles.
We decided to skip the $60 each Culebrita boat fare and instead find our turtles at Tamarindo in Culebra. The beach is easy to get too and has parking but no bathrooms. The turtles are easy to find and so fun to watch! If you go before 8 am, you'll see big groups together (25 turtles). If you go mid-morning or afternoon, you'll see 5 or 6. So fun to snorkel here and the water was calm and easy to swim in. We loved it!
Beautiful beach, very good snorkling. Snorkle out across the sea grass to the left and you will see sea turtles eating from the bottom and occasionally surfacing. Saw about 10 of them over two days. Also saw a giant stingray gliding along the grass.
This is a nice beach on Culebra from where you can see a sunset. It's also the best place to snorkel if you want to see turtles
My wife and I had the best time of our vacation here swimming with the green turtles. We stayed at Casa Encase and Cliff and Maureen suggested we come here in the morning (to beat the kayak tours) and that we should see the turtles. We were not disappointed. We swam with over 20 of them along with sting rays. It was fantastic.
