Go early in the day during the week! You will be amongst only a handful or less hanging out on the beach. Reef is right there, and you can snorkel fairly close and see the fishes and corals. Playa Flamenco has outdoor showers for rinsing off, a place to camp, bathrooms plenty of trashcans, and food/drink vendors. If you visit... More

“Flamenco Beach in November”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2012 NEW

The beach was absolutely beautiful! White sand and blue water. The waves were EXTREMELY rough in November. I am a very strong woman and the waves barreled over me like I was a twig. It was impossible to relax while in the water. However, the scenery made up for it! Lush mountains affixed behind the blue waters. BREATHTAKING! There is... More

Remember to buy roundtrip tickets to avoiding standing in the line while returning. Shuttles take you from the ferry terminal to Flamenco Beach for $3 pp. The beach is very... More

I see what all the fuss is about over Flamenco beach!! We were staying in Rio Grande, but decided to make a day trip out of Flamenco beach. We got up bright and early to leave our hotel at 6:30 am in order to head to Fajardo for the 9am ferry to Culebra. There was a short line for the... More
