About
Culebrita Island (Spanish: Isla Culebrita, meaning "little snake island") is a small, uninhabited island off the eastern coast of the island-municipality of Culebra in the Spanish Virgin Islands, administratively part of the archipelago of Puerto Rico and geographically part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands.
Together with Cayo Botella off the northwestern point, and Pelá and Pelaita to the west, Culebrita belongs to the barrio Fraile of the main island of Culebra. It is a nature reserve and is part of the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge. The island is home to Culebrita Lighthouse, one of the oldest lighthouses in the Caribbean. Culebrita is only accessible by private boat from the main island of Culebra.
