Culebra Snorkeling Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The aridity of Culebra has one huge benefit: The lack of run-off from rivers and streams means that the waters surrounding the isle have excellent visibility.
  • Zoni Beach is a favorite with snorkelers, especially around its points—just watch out when the winds whip up because they cloud underwater visibility.
  • Some of the reefs around Culebra were damaged during the U.S. military bombings of the island so be sure to ask locally where the most pristine snorkel spots are located.
  • Culebra has a number of dive operators that rent snorkel gear and take snorkelers with them on scuba trips.

Beach Overview: Culebra, Puerto Rico

By Matt Link
With a population of around 2,000, Culebra lies about 18 miles off the western edge of Puerto Rico. Twenty-three tiny islets surround it like a constellation: all are classified as nature reserves—the earliest established by Theodore Roosevelt way back in 1909—where scores of nesting turtles and migrating birds seek refuge. Bone-dry Culebra has no rivers, making the crystal and cloud-free waters around it a haven for snorkelers and divers. Read More
