10. Playa Flamenco, Puerto Rico: A Caribbean Crown Jewel

On the island of Culebra, just east of Puerto Rico’s main island, Playa Flamenco’s crescent-shaped bay and velvety sand make it a haven for beach lovers. Named for the pinkish hue of its waters at certain times of day, this beach is perfect for both snorkeling novices and seasoned divers, thanks to vibrant coral reefs bustling with tropical fish. Don’t miss the iconic, graffiti-laden military tanks left behind on the shore—a quirky relic of the island’s past. Whether you’re pitching a tent at the nearby campground or stopping by for a day trip, Playa Flamenco lures visitors back time and again with its friendly locals, pristine shores, and mellow island vibes.
