This is a cute little and the only airport in Culebra island mostly used to fly from Culebra to San Juan and Vieques. Most of the planes are 6-8 seater. Staff is friendly here and amenities are good. They have a clean toilet, drinking water and a coffee bar. Just 2 min walk from this airport is car rental shop. Also there is a big grocery store at 5 min drive.

This place is paradise. The water is warm and clear. The sand is soft. Everyone has a smile on their faces because it's so beautiful here. There's shared taxi's that take you from the ferry to Flamenco and back. It's 5 dollars each way. This is a must see and experience.

The ride here was a bumpy one but totally worth our time. The beach is beautiful and we got there before other boats so we really did have the beach to ourselves. There is a shallow coral reef you can snorkel. There is also an old abandoned army tank left on the far side of the beach you can go explore.
