snorkeling near Tamarindo Estates, please
click here.
On the waterfront of Tamarindo
Estates is the beautiful Tamarindo Estates
reef. From the Estates you can walk north
to the Carlos Rosario reef. You could also reach
these and other reefs by water taxi or with a
rental boat or kayak. If you do not bring your
own snorkeling gear, you can rent from the dive
shops, gift shops, from El Nuevo Mini Mas
store located by the fishing-coop gas station,
and also from some of the water taxi operators. We suggest you bring reef walker shoes for your comfort and safety while snorkeling. For a good swim you could also go to Playa Tamarindo's sandy beach, an easy seven minute walk from the Estates. In our waterfront we have a beach-house with rest rooms, chairs, and lots of shade area for the exclusive use of our guest to hang out while they are on the beach area. (The beach-house is not a rental unit.) |

Resaca Beach. Hiking. On the north side of the island, to the east of Flamenco Beach, this beach is spectacular. Swimming is not recommended here as the Spanish word ‘resaca’ means undertow! The hike to the beach is probably the most difficult of hikes on Culebra. The trail is quite steep and rocky. Resaca is mostly a surfer’s beach. It is one of the beaches monitored by the Fish and Wildlife Service for the turtle program. It is maintained by F&WL, which should be contacted if you plan to go down to the beach. | Brava Beach. Hiking. On the north side of the island, Brava is very imposing. About a mile long, Brava Beach has a few palm trees for shade and lots of sand. Being on the north side of the island, this beach will have some of the largest waves in Culebra. The name ‘Brava”, in fact, is the Spanish word meaning rough. There are also some really strong undercurrents here so take care not to venture out too far as the surf can be extremely dangerous. Access is quite difficult, so expect there to be few people. This beach is more for sun bathing. |
For some visitors a boat, be it a bare boat, water taxi, a captained boat, or a kayak can enhance their vacation experiences, allowing further exploration of beaches and cays, and the reach of other snorkeling spots and fishing grounds. We have the following service providers: |
