Car Rental
If you're renting a car in Culebra, start from the main town area, where most accommodations and restaurants are located. Drive east on Route 251 towards Flamenco Beach.

The taxi ride typically costs around $15-$25 per person for a round trip, depending on the operator. Make sure to confirm the return schedule and any other details with the captain before boarding.

Public Transportation
If you prefer public transportation, take a local colectivo (shared taxi) from the main town to Flamenco Beach. The fare is usually around $3-$5 per person.
