Flamenco Beach (Playa Flamenco) – What To Know BEFORE You Go

  • Overview
  • Tours & Tickets

The Basics

Beach bums can spend a day at Flamenco Beach sinking their toes into sugar-like sand and splashing in the waves, taking breaks to order smoothies or piña coladas from waterfront food stands. Those looking for more adventure can rent snorkel gear to explore Flamenco’s highly regarded coral reefs and observe underwater creatures such as parrot fish and sea turtles. High-speed catamaran cruises run from Fajardo, Isla Verde, and San Juan, often stopping at nearby Culebrita Beach, Playa Tortuga, or the other La Cordillera Islands. Guided tours make it easy to access the gear needed for a good time, while ensuring access to Culebra’s picture-perfect sights.

Pure Adventure is great

Bjrn_B, Dec 2021

Full-Day Culebra and Flamenco Beach Snorkel Tour from San Juan

Flamenco Beach was astonishing to see and the snorkling afterwards was great, too. The lunch was a bit light though, and some time (10 min perhaps) on the boat after lunch to just enjoy a drink or two would have been nice; felt a bit rushed at times. Even though we really enjoyed this experience and the whole day the price was a bit too expensive, unfortunately.

Worth every penny

Full-Day Culebra and Flamenco Beach Snorkel Tour from San Juan

I loved it all!! Worth every single penny spent! The staff was very accommodating and courteous and took care of everything. Did not like the lunch sandwiches because I am a vegetarian, looked like chicken to me though but rest was perfect. Snorkeling was life changing experience for me! Must try and I’ll book again!

Perfect beach snorkel

Jenalee_H, Jul 2021

Full-Day Culebra and Flamenco Beach Snorkel Tour from San Juan

The beach time is short but we went for the snorkeling and saw turtles and stingray at the second location. This was by far the best beach we went to on our whole trip. The snorkeling there had beautiful fish. Don’t miss out on snorkeling the reef because the second spot isn’t at the reef and you will miss the beautiful fish if you don’t go at the beach spot. The swim to the beach is fun and easy.

The beach portion and snorkeling is fantastic. The only negative thing to say is the boat ride is extremely long over 3 hours on the boat to and from starting point.

Full-Day Culebra and Flamenco Beach Snorkel Tour from San Juan

The trip was an awesome experience,the guides were fun and very friendly. My only complaint would be not having scuba masks to accommodate people who wear glasses. Other then that it was amazing seeing the sea turtles,sting rays,fish and even got a peek at a manatee!

  • Beach chairs and umbrellas are available for rent.

How to Get There

Flamenco Beach is located on the northwestern shore of Culebra Island, about 17 miles (27 kilometers) east of mainland Puerto Rico. Ferries leave Fajardo (about a 90-minute drive from San Juan) for Culebra several times a day and take about 90 minutes; plan to arrive several hours before your desired departure. For a smoother trip, take a 30-minute flight from Isle Grande Airport just outside San Juan. If visiting Playa Flamenco directly from Culebra Harbor or the airport, take a taxi or rent a car to access the beach. Book a guided tour to have all the logistics handled for you.

When to Get There

Flamenco Beach is busiest in winter and spring, when it’s best to visit on a weekday or arrive early to avoid crowds. The Caribbean waters are warm year-round, and although low season visitors can enjoy fewer crowds and cheaper prices, visiting during hurricane season (June through November) means boats might be canceled due to weather.

Beach Brigade

The US Navy used Flamenco Beach as a practice ground from just before World War II until the 1970s. A pair of old US army tanks remain, abandoned on the northern edge of the beach. A reminder of Puerto Rico’s military past, the rusted tanks have become something of a local landmark, spruced up with colorful graffiti, most notably a swirling green and yellow design painted by local artist Jorge Acevedo.
