The 20 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World
Puerto Rico is blessed with countless beautiful beaches, many of which have unique qualities. Don&rsquo;t miss <a href=flamenco-beach-culebra__flamenco.html Beach</a>, a haven of fine sand and perfectly clear water. You'll find it on the island of Culebra, which is easily accessible from the mainland. At the southwestern Bah&iacute;a Sucia, explore nooks and crannies in the rocks high above the rolling waves. The beaches of northwestern Rinc&oacute;n are a <a href=surfing-in-rincon-rincon__surfer%26rsquo%3bs.html nirvana</a> and home to some of Puerto Rico&rsquo;s best sunsets; idyllic Gilligan's Island in the south and nearby Isla Ballena (Whale Island) deserve a daylong excursion for swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, and picnicking. Spend at least one evening watching the water change color in one of three <a href=puerto-ricos-bioluminescent-bays-vieques__bioluminescent.html bays</a> around the island.
