Frequently Asked Questions

It doesn't dock: the ship anchors offshore and passengers reach the municipal pier at Dewey, the island's only village, by tender. Culebra lies about 27 kilometres from the main island of Puerto Rico.
Yes, in about twenty minutes, with no particular route needed. A few streets, a canal crossed by a small bridge, family kitchens serving lobster empanadillas and juice pressed to order. Locals get around in golf carts.
By público, the shared vans waiting near the landing. The bay is about four kilometres away and the ride takes ten minutes or so. The road is hilly and the heat is unforgiving: walking is not advised.
Its arc of pale sand between two wooded points, regularly ranked among the finest beaches in the world. The water stays calm nearly all year, sheltered by the horseshoe of the headlands.
It is a leftover from US Navy exercises; Culebra served as a firing range until 1975. The rusted tank sits in the sand at the western end of the beach, repainted so many times by local artists that it now belongs to the scenery.
Yes, at Playa Tamarindo, a cove next to the main beach. Green turtles graze the seagrass a few metres from shore in two or three metres of water: you can watch them snorkelling without any special effort. Mask and snorkel rent in the village.
Tamarindo for the turtles, and Carlos Rosario reef for those better equipped, where coral and tropical fish follow one another along a shallow wall. Much of the island has been a national wildlife refuge since 1909, which explains the health of the reefs.
An uninhabited islet crowned by a 19th-century lighthouse, about fifteen minutes away by water taxi. Its natural rock pools, refilled by the waves, offer a swim unlike anything on the larger neighbouring islands. Trips are booked at the landing, if the call's timing allows.
No, and that bareness is exactly what stays with you. No large resort has ever been built on the island. Here the sea is the whole show: anyone looking for cultural sightseeing will be disappointed.
The US dollar, since Puerto Rico is a United States territory, and both Spanish and English. Cards work in Dewey's businesses, but carry cash: públicos, snorkel rentals and water taxis prefer it.
