After approximately 2.5 miles, you will reach a fork; take the left fork to continue on Route 251. Continue straight until you see the signs for Melones Beach. There is a small parking area near the beach, but it can fill up quickly, especially on weekends, so arrive early.

Ask the driver to let you off at the stop for Melones Beach or Playa Sardinas. The ride will take about 15-20 minutes. Once you get off, there will be a short walk to the beach area. This option is cost-effective, with bus fares typically around $2 per person.

• Taxi

  Another convenient option is to take a taxi from your location in Culebra. Taxis are readily available near the ferry terminal and around the island. Simply tell the driver you want to go to Melones Beach. The fare may vary depending on your starting point, but expect to pay between $10 and $20 for a one-way trip. This is a direct and quick way to reach the beach without the hassle of public transport.
