Culebrita Island Full Day

Isla Culebrita (little Culebra, little snake) is a small island off the eastern coast of Culebra, Puerto Rico at 18°18′N, 65°14′W and is part of the Culebra archipelago.
 
Culebrita is a nature reserve and home of one of the oldest lighthouse in the Caribbean. This stunning island is only accessible by boat from the main island of Culebra.
 
Culebrita is a coral island approximately 1 mile in length. Tidal pools trap small sea life at low tide.
 
  There are six beaches on Culebrita, the chief being Playa Tortuga (Turtle Beach). The beach is named for the many sea turtles that use the beach for breeding grounds and the surrounding waters for grazing. The other two large beaches are Treasure Beach and West Beach. Treasure Beach is on the windward side of the island where drift-wood gets blown onto the beach.
 
There are also large tidal pools on the east side where one can lounge in the large therapy baths Ponce De Leon never found.
 
The Culebrita Reef lays off the southern coast of the island and is home to some of the healthiest coral and eco-system in the Caribbean. Turtles and Dolphins are common in this area and make great subjects for photographers above and below the water. Underwater cameras are available on board.
 
 
 
The Famous Lighthouse

Construction of the Culebrita Lighthouse began on September 25, 1882, and it was completed on February 25, 1886. The Spanish Crown built the lighthouse to help secure its claim over the main island of Culebra.

It was the oldest operating lighthouse in the Caribbean until 1975 when the U.S. Navy and Coast Guard finally closed the facility. The United States Coast Guard has replaced the lighthouse with a solar powered light beacon.

The Culebrita Lighthouse was registered on the National Register of Historical Monuments of the United States on October 22, 1981.
