Puerto Rico’s Finest: Playa Flamenco, Isla Culebra

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 without a 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.
