About Culebra:
The Island of Culebra lies approximately seventeen miles east of Puerto Rico, twelve miles west of St. Thomas,and nine miles north of Vieques. The island consists of many large hills and due to its long and intricate shoreline, Culebra represents a series of bays, peninsulas, and bars, some of which end in abrupt cliffs, sandy shores, or mangrove forests. The principal harbor is Ensenada Honda, which is considered one of the most secure hurricane harbors in the Caribbean. There is a local population of about 1800 people. Most of the residents live in and around the town of Dewey. The rest of the island is mostly unpopulated except for a few enclaves.
