Culebrita is a small uninhabited island just off the coast of Culebra, it is a great island to explore and we went for a few walks, one to the ruins  of an old light house at the top of the hill, which still has a small light powered by solar panels.

We climbed the tower and got some spectacular views.

Another walk was to the far end of the island, after a little rock climbing we found plenty of cacti

We also had some good snorkel sessions though visibility wasn't that good we did see some new marine life -
I think this is a Nudibranch / Spanish dancer which is a sea slug

One of a pair of squid we saw, they change colour to blend in with their surroundings as you watch
