Where to Explore

Although Culebrita is a small island, there’s so much to do!

Here are some must-visit spots to add to your itinerary:

Piscinas Naturales (The Baths)

Piscinas Naturales "The Baths" are natural tidal pools where waves create a "bath-like" feature for relaxation. Sea creatures can sometimes be found here!

South Beach

Not too popular and is another great destination to snorkel!

Treasure Beach

Also known as Trash Beach, is located on the east side of the island. Although its name is deterring for some, avid beachcombers may find it appealing. The beach was named Trash Beach because the winds and currents often wash up trash onto the shores. However, the beach was later renamed Treasure Beach due to its unique appeal.
