Top Things to do in Culebra
The 7 Best Things to do Adventurous in Culebra, Puerto Rico
Culebra is somewhat of the anti-tourist destination, harboring no large hotels or flashy vacation bells and whistles. The beaches are stunning stretches of white sand, great for sunning, windsurfing and diving. The culture and architecture are just as colorful as the waters of the bright blue sea. Stroll around downtown for a truly quaint afternoon activity.

It rained heavily in Culebra on the day before I visited this beach. Part of the 20 min hiking from the Flamenco beach parking area was muddy. The beach was also quite wavy. I felt quite guilty as I was smashed to a coral reef by a big wave. The beach was very beautiful. I saw LOTS of reefs near the beach. I could tell there must be lots of life in the water. I would definitely go here the next time, hopefully the weather would be good.
7. Brava Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 66 reviews
Brava, meaning "Brave" in Spanish, is an isolated beach on the wild north shore of the Island, which probably earned the name for its temperamental currents and swells. The beach is nestled within undeveloped hills and protected lands, and is disconnected from the tourist beach circuit. The trail to reach the beach is through an overgrown forest following ruts the water leaves and tunnels of thick vegetation. You might stumble upon a pond and have to walk through a lush mangrove forest. The road may be a bit tough, but once you make it to this paradisiacal beach, it will all be worth it! The scenery can be described as the perfect example of deserted tropical beach with bright shades of intense greens and blues that you would see in a postcard. Like all other Culebra beaches (except Flamenco), Brava Beach does not offer any type of amenities, therefore, it is important that you make sure to bring everything that you need to enjoy an extraordinary day at this spectacular beach.

We were here two years ago and wanted to see the beach again as well as assess the condition of the trail post-hurricane. It is still a beautiful, large, secluded beach. Enjoy the views and peacefulness here. Imagine the turtles coming ashore to nest. We had it all to ourselves for the entire morning. The waves come crashing in here and we didn't risk swimming. We were 25 minutes hiking in (mostly downhill). The trail was easy to follow and wide for ~1/2 the distance and then a narrow but well-used footpath the rest of the way. The path winds through the woods and along the side of an old, washed out road. The lower branches and many of the downed downed trees had been trimmed. Near the end (when you can hear the waves) it crosses the old washed out road and angles off to the right. Soon after you arrive at the beach. The hike back takes longer as it is mostly up hill. It is not a long hike but I would not do it when it has rained recently (it would be slippery) and you need to be in shape to do the uphill return trip. Also, wear good hiking sandals and take water.
