Culebrita Lighthouse, built by the Spanish in the 1880s, stands on the uninhabited island of Culebrita off Culebra's east coast. Visitors reach it by private boat or tour, then hike a short trail to the restored structure. From the tower, panoramic vistas stretch across the Virgin Islands and turquoise waters. The surrounding beaches, like Playa Culebrita, are pristine and ideal for swimming. This landmark combines maritime history with stunning natural scenery, making it a rewarding day trip for photographers and explorers.
