Playa Tortuga
✨ Hidden gem
Drop the hook at this idyllic crescent-shaped bay lined with palm trees on the island of Culebrita, just off Culebra. The well-protected anchorage has good holding in sand, making it a reliable spot to settle in overnight. Many treat it as a day stop, but it's worth lingering — just be aware that DPNR does occasionally patrol and enforce limits on stay time.
