You can go by Ferry from Ceiba to Culebra .... but ( and this is a big “but”) there have been an extreme problem with the ferries... if you have the extra money and you want to get the best out of your trip ... I would fly from San Juan to Culebra and then fly back. This will allow you a trouble free vacation in what is an incredible beach paradise. For flight info , contact Cape Air. You will spend a little more but you won’t be stuck a whole day in Ceiba.

No! All facilities, venders and rentals of equipment at the beach have been closed since Maria in 2017.

The campground has been closed since 2017.

You need to take a ferry from Fajardo to Flamenco Beach. You can get your tickets in advance online or get them at the ferry port. The tickets are minimal when purchased at the port, only a couple of dollars. But about 17.00 online but it guarantees passage.

Hello, we booked a snorkeling tour and the tour guides reserved our physical round trip tickets to pick up at the ferry terminal once we arrived. You can purchase tickets ahead of time online which I would recommend since you get priority boarding and if there is no more space on the ferry you will need to wait until the next ferry comes. I kind of felt like a second class citizen with the physical tickets vs online. Another thing to keep in mind is that the ferry service has been notoriously unreliable. While disembarking on our return trip in Ceiba at 6 pm, the ferry scheduled to leave to Vieques was cancelled and only residents would be allowed on the 10 pm ferry. You also have the options of booking the catamaran tours which take you straight to the island or booking a flight. Hope this helps! Best, Rosa

Hello, We booked a snorkeling tour and definitely recommend booking a tour of some kind. Our guides led us snorkeling on Tamarindo Beach then we got dropped off at Flamenco Beach for the afternoon before being dropped off at the ferry. They took care of booking our ferry tickets, but I would recommend booking online yourself if they allow it so you can get priority boarding. We have not taken a catamaran tour, but based on our experience with the ferry we would definitely consider it on our next trip. Hope this helps! Best, Rosa

Yes you can buy chair loungers and umbrellas at the entrance of Flamenco Beach ! There is also quite a few shaded spots under palm trees !
