View of the Cayo Luis Peña

Cayo Luis Peña is a small island off the west coast of Culebra, a municipality of Puerto Rico. The island is a nature reserve, but visitors are allowed on the island for nature walks, snorkeling and swimming. Visitors are not allowed to stay on the island overnight and the island is only accessible via private water taxis. This limited access results in relatively few visitors and the island and surrounding reefs are able to stay more pristine as a result. The small number of visitors also makes the island more private for those willing to make the journey. Luis Peña Beach is located on the north side of the island. The island is named after its second owner.
