Flamenco Beach, located on the island of Culebra, Puerto Rico, is consistently ranked as one of the world's most beautiful beaches, famous for its crescent-shaped white sand, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and iconic abandoned WWII tanks. Accessibility involves a ferry ride (recommended to book in advance) or small plane from mainland Puerto Rico to Culebra, followed by local taxi, public van, or golf cart rental to the beach; the beach itself is easily walkable. It is best enjoyed as a self-guided visit, allowing visitors to relax, swim, and snorkel at their leisure. The beach is generally open year-round, though the hurricane season (June-November) can bring travel disruptions. A visit can be very affordable, with ferry tickets costing just a few dollars, a small parking fee, and optional costs for food/drinks from on-site kiosks or rentals of chairs/umbrellas; bringing your own supplies can further reduce costs. A typical visit duration for a day trip from the main island is 4-6 hours, while those staying on Culebra can enjoy longer or multiple visits. Other insights include available restrooms and showers, and it's advisable to bring sunscreen and water, particularly as it can get crowded during peak times.
