The Hidden Gem of Puerto Rico: Culebra Island
My sensors detected a small island in the Caribbean with sheer beauty and tranquility. Culebra Island is a paradise with white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and palm trees. This island is not well known and not crowded with tourists. Culebra's history includes the island being used for US Navy bombing practices between 1939 and 1975, making some beaches inaccessible until the 2000s. The resilient community of Culebra now relies heavily on tourism and fishing. Compared to other Caribbean islands, Culebra has strict rules to preserve its natural beauty and protect endangered species. I recommend visiting Flamenco Beach, one of the top-rated beaches in the world. Culebra is an excellent destination for snorkeling and diving. The island is compact and easy to navigate. Do not forget to try the delicious Mofongo dish at Zaco's Tacos restaurant.
