The variety of coral reefs allow for a wonderful range of diving sites for both the novice and the seasoned diver. Culebra boasts a number of certified diving instructors and there are many opportunities to rent equipment, should you already be an experienced diver. If you have your own equipment, the same establishments will fill your tank. You will, however, need to produce valid diving certification to make use of this service. Snorkeling is also a very popular activity, and one could spend hours exploring the magical underwater world so easily accessible even from the most popular beaches. If your tastes run more towards fun on the water rather than in it, you can choose from a huge selection of boats to rent or charter. Go exploring in a kayak, brush up on your sailing skills or charter a boat to take you deep sea fishing. There is no limit to the fun you can have in the warm tropical waters. Take a day cruise or go windsurfing, the choice is limited only by the imagination. Go fly fishing or try your hand at spear fishing, which is legal in this area. If all this sounds way too ambitious, then perhaps it is time to relax and soak up the rays at one of the many beaches on the island, such as the wildly popular Flamenco Beach or the quiet and intimate Zoni. You can rent anything you need from beach chairs to umbrellas, and get yourself a tasty snack or an exotic drink from one of many kiosks right on the beach.

Colonization of Culebra began on October 27, 1880. The first settlement, known as San Ildefonso occupied the area that is now home to the Dept. of Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife. Until recently, Culebra was the primary gunnery and bombing practice site for the U.S. Navy. Currently, it is home to a cultural mix of people, with roots in Africa, China, America, Scotland, Ireland, Haiti, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Despite, or perhaps because of their cultural diversity, the people on Culebra are some of the warmest and friendliest in the world.

Camping is a favorite activity on Culebra and camping equipment is readily available to rent. What could be lovelier than a camp out at the beach, under the stars? The next day, take in one of the many nature tours available, and learn all about the beautiful birds and plants of the area. Ultimately, there is so much to do on your vacation to Culebra that it will be hard to find time to do it all.
