WHEN TO SEE IT AT ITS BEST

We prefer visiting Puerto Rico during the shoulder seasons when the tourist crowds are smaller, making it easier to explore beautiful beaches like Flamenco Beach. The shoulder season runs from mid-April, after the busy winter season, until June when the summer season with more rain begins. Hurricane season usually starts in June and lasts until November. To reach Culebra Island from mainland Puerto Rico, you can either take a 45-minute ferry ride or fly, although flying is less cost-effective. For the best snorkeling experience, head to the east side of the bay or the beaches and coves facing the west. You can also join kayak and snorkel tours to explore the area more fully.
