The Completed Restoration of the Flamenco Beach Resort in Culebra, PR

The work in the tourist area cost almost $4 million, the product of private donations after it was destroyed by hurricanes Irma and María almost five years ago.

Four years after signing a collaborative agreement with the municipal government, the Foundation for a Better Puerto Rico completed restoration work at the Flamenco beach resort in Culebra, whose facilities were destroyed by hurricanes Irma and María.

The restoration cost nearly $4 million, the product of private donations.

There, new showers, bathrooms, and nine kiosks erected in reinforced concrete and wood were built, in addition to reforesting the area, which will return to the hands of the city council for its operation and management, through the Autoridad de Conservación y Desarrollo de Culebra (ACDEC/Culebra Conservation and Development Authority), a municipal public corporation chaired by Mayor Edilberto Romero.

Dennis Rivera, president of the Foundation for a Better Puerto Rico, expressed feeling “incredibly happy and full of hope because this new Flamenco beach facility, which is the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean and one of the most beautiful in the world, can have a change and a significant impact for Culebra.”

“The number of visitors we are going to receive will increase dramatically and the facilities are unmatched by any other in the Caribbean. That will make Culebra a more attractive place for visitors and will result in an improvement in Culebra’s economy,” said the former union member, who has been residing on the island municipality for over 20 years.

He recalled that, when agreeing to sign a contract with the city council, in May 2018, to take care of completely destroyed facilities, the biggest challenge was to raise a millionaire budget based on the trust of various private institutions and individuals who disbursed the money required to carry out the ambitious project.

“The municipality had already fired all the workers because it had no financial resources and, literally, that was a no man’s land, being such an important beach for the economic future of Culebra. We made a collaborative agreement with the municipality, which establishes that we were going to take the initiative to raise the money, hire the architects and professionals that were needed to build the new facilities”, he explained about the work carried out by MFS Construction.

“In turn, the municipality promised us to maintain the facilities for 20 years and give them maintenance, because it was one of the great concerns that we had because, in Culebra, there was a history that these structures were made and, later, they were left Because they were not maintained, the structures did not work,” he added.

In fact, one of the agreements is that the municipal administration will have to obtain and maintain the certification of the Blue Flag program, an international denomination that earned it recognition as the sixth most beautiful beach in the world in several instances, the last being in 2016.

According to the vision of the Foundation for a Better Puerto Rico, “the main goal is the protection and preservation of Flamenco Beach for present and future generations of Culebrenses and visitors; preserve the ecological value of Flamenco beach, the protection of its dunes, its corals, the bay and the proper management of solid waste.

Likewise, it is ambitious to “promote and support the business economy in Culebra with a beach open all year round, and achieve a greater number of visitors with excellent services in the spa, camping areas, and kiosks. Over 90% of businesses in Culebra benefit from tourism, with Flamenco being the number one attraction in Culebra and Puerto Rico.”

“The purpose is to make Flamenco beach economically self-sufficient and to help the Culebra Conservation and Development Authority to survive and fulfill its purpose, to ensure the environment and all the beaches of Culebra,” said Rivera.

On the other hand, to operate the spa, 22 employees are needed to cover the areas of administration, reception, collection, fieldwork, security, lifeguards, cleaning, and maintenance personnel, among others.

“The interesting thing about Flamenco beach is that it is an area where you can camp and spend the night there, next to the sea. We want to offer different things to people; a more varied culinary offer, rental of chairs, locker, ice, towels, ‘souvenirs’ and items for the beach, internet, signs for orientation areas, creating educational material that recognizes the historical value, the successful and courageous struggle of the people Culebrense,” Rivera said.

“We want to ensure that, with the collections, we can pay the employees, maintain the area, we can have lifeguards, have security personnel, first aid and frequent training for personnel,” he stressed.

Project costs amount to $3.6 million. Of that total, $2 million was raised through entities such as the Hispanic Federation, Fundación Comunitaria, Unidos por Puerto Rico, New York Community Trust, and the Boston Foundation, among others.

In addition, $300,000 of the charge to visitors and $1.3 million donated by the construction company were identified. However, the investment would rise to $4 million, since the cleaning and pruning in the camping areas amounted to $100,000, and “there are still some details to complete,” said Rivera.

Finally, he clarified that “the camping areas that Para La Naturaleza pruned need to be completed, but we hope to deliver the facilities to the municipality, with the use permits, at the end of July or the beginning of August.”

“Culebra has a spectacular opportunity. Throughout the Caribbean, the beaches have been destroyed and we, by having these facilities, have one of the most beautiful beaches in the world and now we are going to have the facilities. That integrated combination is going to put Culebra in a unique situation, which will not have competition. Not even the most luxurious hotels are going to have facilities like the ones we are going to have, at incredibly low prices and where everyone can go”, he concluded.

Photo gallery: “The best beaches in the world”

The top 10 best beaches in the world include the following geographical features: Rabbit Beach (Italy), Grace Bay (Turks and Caicos – British Overseas Territory), Whitehaven Beach (Australia), Baía do Sancho (Brazil), Flamenco Beach (Puerto Rico), Playa de Las Catedrales (Spain), Lopes Mendes Beach (Brazil), Horseshoe Bay (Bermuda), Eagle Beach (Aruba) and Rhossili Bay (UK).

Rabbit Beach, Italy

Topping the list is Rabbit Beach on the Italian island of Lampedusa, located between Sicily and Tunisia.

Rabbit Beach, according to many experts, is one of the best beaches in Europe. However, getting to it is not easy. Even for those who drove to the beach by car, the last 10-20 minutes of the journey will have to be done on foot along a winding mountain path.

The sand on the beach is white and soft. For 150 meters from the shore, the sea is very shallow, so that a tiny island, located right in front of the beach, can be waded. But it is better to rent a canoe and swim around the perimeter of the island, exploring the caves and admiring the small tunas that follow the boat. If you are lucky, you can see large sea turtles (Carretta Carretta) coming here at the end of August to lay their eggs. Note that until the turtles hatch, vacationers are not allowed to visit the western part of the beach. nine0003

Grace Bay, Turks and Caicos Islands

Silver in the ranking of the best beaches was Grace Bay on the island of Providenciales, which is part of the Turks and Caicos Islands (a British Overseas Territory).

Turquoise water leaves no one indifferent.

Whitehaven Beach, Australia

Whitehaven Beach is 7 kilometers of wild beauty (white sand, emerald clear water and fantastic views). It is located on the Whitsundays Islands. nine0003

The sand here is not heated even on the hottest day, so you can walk barefoot on the beach without fear of burning your feet. It is for these properties and the beauty of the local landscape that the beach received third place in the ranking.

Baía do Sancho, Brazil

Baía do Sancho – the most beautiful beach in Brazil, surrounded by rocks – deservedly placed on the fourth line of the ranking. nine0003

Flamenco Beach, Puerto Rico

One of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Flamenco Beach in Puerto Rico, on the north coast, rounds out the top five.

Playa de Las Catedrales, Spain

The sixth line is occupied by the Spanish beach in the province of Galicia with an unusual name – Playa de Las Catedrales, which translates as the beach of the Cathedrals.

An amazing picture opens up here: huge stone pillars, reminiscent of the architecture of Gothic cathedrals. nine0003

Lopes Mendes Beach, Brazil

There is another beach in Brazil ranked in the top 10 (number seven) by TripAdvisor. This is Lopes Mendes Beach on the island of Ilha Grande, located near the bustling Rio de Janeiro.

It is famous for its solitude and conducive to a relaxing holiday.

Horseshoe Bay, Bermuda

Horseshoe Bay, ranked eighth in the ranking, is a couple of kilometers of soft pink sand.

It is the most famous beach in Bermuda.

Eagle Beach, Aruba

The penultimate place in the rating is occupied by another beach from the Caribbean region – Eagle Beach, located on the island of Aruba.

Paradise landscapes and picturesque coral reefs attract tourists from all over the world.

Rhossili Bay, UK

Rhossili Bay, a Welsh beach located on the Gower Peninsula near Swansea, has been voted the best beach in the UK. It closes the rating of the best beaches in the world from TripAdvisor.

Almost 5 kilometers long, the picturesque Rhossili Downs rise above the beach, offering impressive views of the ocean and surroundings. The western rocky part of the beach is crowned by the national poet of Wales, Dylan Thomas, Cape Worm’s Head – a gentle curved descent into the ocean with a length of 1. 5 kilometers. nine0003

However, Rhossili Bay attracts tourists not only with its breathtaking panorama. The northern part of the beach, closer to the village of Llangennith, is famous for its high stable waves and is a favorite place for British surfers.

Puerto Rico’s best beaches. Flag of Puerto Rico – only side by side and together

Puerto Rico is located in the northeastern part of the Caribbean on a large island of the same name and several nearby islands from the Greater Antilles group in the Caribbean Sea. The nearest neighboring states are the American and British Virgin Islands in the east and the Dominican Republic in the west. nine0003

Puerto Rico is a Freely Associated or Freely Associated State that is partly dependent on, but not an integral part of, the United States. While sharing citizenship, currency, and defense with the United States, Puerto Rico also has its own constitution, legislative, executive, and judicial branches. The capital of the state, the city of San Juan, is located in the north of the island, in one of the best natural harbors in the Caribbean region.
Most of Puerto Rico’s islands are uninhabited or sparsely populated, the most populous being the main island, approximately 170 km long and 60 km wide, with a coastline of about 500 km. In the center of the main island is the so-called Central mountain range Cordillera Central, where the highest point of Puerto Rico is located – Mount Cerro de Punta (Cerro de Punta) with a height of 1338 m above sea level. The southern coast of the island is washed by the Caribbean Sea, and the northern coast by the Atlantic Ocean. There are more than fifty large and shallow rivers in Puerto Rico, most of which originate in the mountains of the central range. There are also seventeen lakes on the island, all of them of artificial origin. The northeastern part of the main island is occupied by the Rio Camai National Cave Park, the largest underground river flows in it and 200 caves with unusual limestone karst formations are hidden. nine0003

Nature and climate

Located almost in the heart of the Caribbean, Puerto Rico enjoys a maritime tropical climate, with almost even temperatures throughout the year in the range of + 26-28 °C. At the same time, the temperature on the coast is always several degrees higher than in the central mountainous part of the island. On the south coast, washed by the Caribbean Sea, it is usually a little warmer than on the north. When buying a tour in Puerto Rico, it is important to remember that from June to November, the Atlantic hurricane season comes to the islands, which is characterized by heat and high humidity, as well as strong hurricane-force winds that periodically hit the island. nine0003

The peak tourist season in Puerto Rico is from December to April, but July and August can also be called the high season.

Puerto Rico is an island of vibrant life! Reserves and national parks with the wild nature of the country attract here connoisseurs of eco-tourism from all over the world. The diversity of flora and fauna is great and includes almost 20 species of birds, about 250 species of plants, including orchids, many mammals and fish. As well as almost five dozen amphibians, among which there are endemic species that are found only here, for example, the Puerto Rican boa constrictor and the Coqui frog, which lives in the El Yunque rainforest. nine0145 In the western part of the southern coast of Puerto Rico, washed by the Caribbean Sea, there is a dry tropical forest of Guanica. A great variety of bird species, including endemics, live in the wilds of this forest. The climatic features of this area contribute to the growth of cacti. The dry forest of Guanica is completely different from the humid tropical forest of El Yunque, located in the east of the northern coast of the island. The reason for the local dry climate is the Central Mountain Range, which separates Guanica from the northeastern part of the island, where about 2500 mm of precipitation falls annually, while in Guanica it is less than 750 mm, and in some places even less than 150 mm. nine0003

Currency exchange and banks

Although the US dollar is the official currency of Puerto Rico, you can sometimes see price tags in stores that show prices in “pesos”, the Puerto Rican dollar. If you’re planning a trip to Puerto Rico, it’s best to bring some US dollars in cash to buy souvenirs from the little shops and tips, as well as a dollar bank card. Just like in the USA, cards and traveler’s checks are universally accepted in Puerto Rico. nine0003

Customs and Immigration

Puerto Rico follows US laws and regulations. Import and export of foreign currency without a declaration is allowed in the amount of up to 10,000 US dollars or its equivalent. This also applies to travelers checks. If you are carrying gold, do not forget to declare it. Items for personal use are not subject to customs duties. In addition, you can import a block of cigarettes and up to 1 liter of hard alcohol into the country duty-free. Care must be taken when importing food products and any items of organic origin. We recommend that you check before importing whether they are allowed to be imported into the territory of Puerto Rico. nine0003

Customs control can be quite quick and hassle-free, but due to the global trend of tightening inspection rules, it may take longer. As in many countries around the world, Puerto Rico practices a random selection of passengers for more thorough screening. Anyone who arrives may be one of them, then your luggage will be subject to a closer inspection, and the officer may ask additional questions. This is usually done to curb illegal migration, so the questions will be about your plans for staying in the country and perhaps having sufficient funds to cover your expenses while traveling to Puerto Rico. nine0003

Time

Time in Puerto Rico does not change between summer and winter. It always remains in the same time zone: UTC-04:00 or AST. Moscow time is 7 hours ahead of Puerto Rico.

Visa and Consular Information

As with customs regulations, Puerto Rico’s visa regulations are similar to those in the United States. If you intend to travel to Puerto Rico, make sure you get a US visa. Our experts will help in this matter – they will fill out a questionnaire, and also sign up for an interview at the US Embassy. nine0003

Opening hours for institutions, shops and museums

Standard shop hours are from 9 am to 7 pm, but some shops are open until 9 pm before weekends. On Saturday – a shortened working day, and on Sunday only the shops of the port area, where cruise ships call, as well as souvenir shops and small shops, are open.

Transport

Unfortunately, there is no direct flight between Russia and Puerto Rico. To get to Puerto Rico from Moscow, we recommend taking flights via New York. Puerto Rico International Airport – Luis Munoz Marin (Aeropuerto Internacional Luis Munoz Marin) receives daily flights from the United States, and also connects with Caribbean countries such as Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago, Guadeloupe, Saint Martin. nine0003

Intercity bus service is virtually non-existent in Puerto Rico. Local residents use mostly private vehicles. As a result, the island has a well-developed network of roads and expressways. Tourists can use a taxi service in San Juan or rent a car.
Puerto Rico Seaport receives the largest cruise liners every day and is one of the largest ports in the world.

. Situated in the shape of a crescent, this picturesque beach is protected by rocks from strong winds and ocean currents. nine0003

Not far from the Guánica Dry Forest biosphere reserve is a two-mile stretch of beach called Ballenas Bay
, which is more frequented by sea turtles than by humans. Not far from it is an isolated rocky beach Caña Gorda
.

If you sail from Fajardo, you can visit the beach on the idyllic Icacos sandbar.

which is part of the El Conquistador Hotel and Golden Door Spa.

Puerto Rico beaches with attractions

Some Puerto Rico beaches are famous for specific things. So on Puntas Beach and Domes Beach
in winter you can watch whales. In Ricone at Antonio Beach and in Vieques at Playa Cofi
you can observe smooth rocks and sea glass resulting from natural erosion. The secluded beach of Puerto Hermina in Quebradillas once served as a cove for smugglers and pirates and may still hold pirate treasures. nine0003

Standard of living

Puerto Rico has a fairly high standard of living compared to most other Caribbean islands, but it is still significantly lower than even the poorest US states. Unemployment is quite high, so many Puerto Ricans try to find work in the United States, while the rest are most often engaged in various types of temporary earnings.

Security

The security situation here is rather ambiguous. On the one hand, the overall level of violent crime here is quite low, and the areas frequented by tourists are quite safe and are under the protection of special police units. However, the poor areas of most large cities are noticeably criminalized and pose a certain danger to foreign tourists. nine0003

Jewelry, expensive photo and video equipment, and the thickness of a wallet should not be displayed openly. Crowded areas should be avoided, as such places usually have a huge number of pickpockets. It is also not recommended to exchange money on the streets – the risk of facing fraud or outright robbery is extremely high. You should avoid visiting deserted shores alone and especially at night.

If you ask a Puerto Rican how to get to a particular place, the most common response is “follow me.
