• 787 863 1000 • Adm
This spectacular beach on
Culebra has lots of space for
kids to run free. There are calm
sections of shallow water which
are ideal for wading, although it
is always wise to supervise
children while in the ocean.
Marine turtles can sometimes be
seen laying eggs here, and World
War II Sherman tanks, rusting in
the sand, make for an interesting
opportunity to teach children
about history (see p18) .
