5 Exotic Beaches Where You Don’t Need a U.S. Passport

No passport? No problem! These world-class beaches in exotic locales don’t require anything more complicated than a flight to get there and enjoy.

Playa Flamenco, Isla Culebra, Puerto Rico

Hailed by many as the world’s best beach for its brilliant white sand and crescent shape, Playa Flamenco is located on Culebra Island, just east of Puerto Rico proper. And as a commonwealth, not only can you get to Flamenco Beach sans passport, it’s fine to arrive empty-handed altogether. Beachside kiosks rent the essentials for the perfect beach day, no matter if it entails snorkeling, sunbathing, camping, or lounging with a piña colada in hand.

Playa de Pajaros and Playa Sardinera, Isla de la Mona, Puerto Rico

The Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has more than 140 land masses surrounding it, though only Puerto Rico itself, Vieques, and Culebra are inhabited. There are no permanent residences or tourism infrastructure on Mona Island and its two most picturesque beaches, Playa de Pajaros and Playa Sardinera, but visitors (and camping) are welcome—though they’re limited to 100 at time. Playa Uveros, Playa Mujeres, and Playa Brava, on the southern side of the seven mile-wide island, are also must-visits. Cave explorations yield petroglyph secrets from Mona Islands’ pre-Columbian Taino residents.

Trunk Bay, St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

Known the world over as one of the beaches that should be on your bucket list, St. John’s Trunk Bay isn’t only postcard-perfect but also a trailblazer—it’s near one of the first snorkeling trails in the Caribbean. The 225-yard snorkel trail leads you through one dive site to the next, identifying sea life throughout the swim.

The island of St. John has no airport, so getting to its scenic beaches requires taking a ferry from its larger sister island, St. Thomas. While this extra effort may be an inconvenience, it’s also a blessing for anyone who prefers a more peaceful island life.

Magens Bay Beach, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands

Often called one of the most beautiful beaches on Earth, Magens Bay is surrounded by lush mountains that meet the sand and its multi-hued blue waters. This St. Thomas beach—a family favorite for its lifeguards and affordability from the East Coast—runs a mile long between two land masses, which keep mondo waves at bay.

Turtle Beach, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands

Part of the Buck Island Reef National Monument, the silky white shores of Turtle Beach make for perfect sunning. But it’s what’s underneath the water that’s the true draw: The snorkeling off the shores of Turtle Beach is considered some of the best in the Caribbean. Buck Island is an islet off St. Croix, so you’ll have to kayak or charter a boat to get to the uninhabited Buck Island.

Trip Report Culebra, Puerto Rico, Camping Playa Flamenco

ACCESSING CULEBRA,

Culebra, PR lies between the islands of Puerto Rico (17 miles) and St. Thomas (11 miles). It is readily accessible from Puerto Rico by Ferry, or Small Plane, and of course by private boat. Cost of round trip plane ride from Isla Grande, PR to Culebra is approximately $145 on Vieques Air. Ferry, round trip is around $5.

CAMPING ON PLAYA FLAMENCO – CULEBRA, PR

Jan. 16th to Feb.1st, 2013 will be my seventh stay at Flamenco Beach Campground. I typically stay for two weeks at a time, and have camped there during the months of October, December, January, March, April, May and June. Camp costs are approximately $20/night/tent for up to six persons,

Although I’ll be traveling solo, in the past, most campers I’ve met there are warm and friendly. I’ve spent many evenings around a camp fire, talking with my new friends about the days activities, and tomorrows plans. The campgrounds are clean and well maintained. Facilities provided include, restrooms, potable water, showers, and BBQ pits.

The following beaches are within easy walking distance from the camp-ground, Flamenco (of course), Tamarindo and Carlos Rosario. Although I am a certified scuba diver, I prefer to snorkel the reefs off of Tamarindo and Luis Pena and in addition to many fish, I frequently see Turtles and rays.

A Jeep or scooter can be rented to access beaches further away. Rasaca and Brava beaches require some hiking but the experience of spending a few hours, or sometimes and entire day on a beautiful beach with no other people around is amazing!!!

As a note to campers, if you happen to forget some equipment, or run out of something while on the island, there are markets in town where you can buy most things you need. In fact, right off the parking lot of Flamenco beach is a Kiosko (Tent City) that rents tents, sleeping bags, etc. In addition to Tent City, there are 4 or 5 other Kioskos that sell great food and drinks.

As an added benefit of camping at Flamenco Beach, as beautiful as the beach is during the day; at night, under a full moon a walk on the beach or a fun dip in the water to cool off before going to bed is absolutely amazing.

CULEBRITA

On a day trip, a short water taxi ride will get you to Culebrita, a small, uninhabited island a just off of Culebra. Culebrita has an old light-house, great snorkeling and on most days during mid-week the beaches are quiet with few visitors. Take along snacks and sufficient hydration and enjoy the day on Culebrita.

FLAMENCO CAMPGROUND SITE TIP:

“I try to choose a tent site in Zona E at the very end of the camp ground. It is about a 1/4 mile walk from the parking lot at Flamenco, but worth the journey as it is usually much quieter at night. Bring a tent with good ventilation, an air mattress, a light weight sleeping bag and a regular bed sheet. Depending on month, some evenings you will get light rain (5-10 min) so be prepared with a rain fly. It can get cool in the evening so I usually bring a light weight jacket. Oh, and don’t forget your hammock ”
