My most recent explorations involved
traveling to a World War II Bombing Practice Island,
more recently known as the home of the #3 beach in the world "Flamenco Beach"!
My classmates and I had the week off
for Thanksgiving Break so we decided
to explore Puerto Rico's smaller islands.
Culebra is a 45 minute ferry ride
from the East side of the main island.
We rented an awesome house and stayed 5 days!
We had an amazing view from our porch,
and you can even see St. Thomas in the background!
The first two days we went to Flamenco Beach
which is the #3 rated beach in the world.
The first day was a very stormy day, but we made the best of it!
The second day was absolutely perfect!
We went snorkeling, sun bathed, swam,
and walked to a cute little area with souvenirs and tasty treats!
Later, we walked down the beach to see the abandoned tanks
left from being a World War II gunnery and bombing practice site.
The tanks have graffiti and it was a really unique thing to see
sitting on the beach!
So keeping in mind this was a practice bombing site,
there are unexploded missiles in the area..
However, according to different websites,
there is a beautiful, private beach just beyond this area
so the third day, we took the hike to check it out.
The secluded beach, with just my classmates and myself, was awesome.
This was such an awesome trip
and I can't wait to come back!
I definitely recommend y'all coming too,
so I have an excuse to go with ya! =]
Oh and don't forget to try the tasty Helado! Yum!
And btw, I'll be home in 20 days! <3
