Amazing beach. Hands down one of the best I’ve ever visited. A little tricky to get too if you don’t have your own boat but worth every moment. Please keep this place clean for others.
Amazing snorkeling right off the beach. I was just in Hawaii and this had a better and more colorful reef then I found anywhere in Honolulu or the North Shore. The beach was absolutely amazing even if it’s a little small. Highly recommended.
You have to take a boat to get out here but it's worth it for the best snorkeling in Culebra. Visibility is what sets this place apart. Lots of fish, great depth, and sandy bottoms. We saw great barracuda and a spotted eagle ray as the stand outs.
From USFWS Staff: Thank you for sharing your thoughts! We understand there might be some confusion about the accessibility and purpose of Luis Peña within the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge. To clarify, Luis Peña is one of the two islands in the refuge open to the public for recreational activities. It offers excellent opportunities for snorkeling, swimming, and enjoying Culebra’s natural beauty.
As part of the refuge, Luis Peña plays a vital role in protecting critical habitats for marine life and migratory birds. We encourage visitors to enjoy the area responsibly and help us preserve its ecological integrity for future generations. While there are no traditional hiking trails on Luis Peña, the island offers incredible snorkeling spots where you can observe vibrant coral reefs and marine biodiversity.
We’re continuously exploring ways to enhance visitor experiences while ensuring conservation remains a top priority. Thank you for helping us improve how we communicate the unique opportunities Luis Peña offers. We hope you enjoy your time in this beautiful refuge!
