As a result of the devastating impact of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, a majority of the vegetation, infrastructure and facilities in Flamenco Beach were destroyed. The Category 4 and 5 winds also brought a significant amount of debris to the shores of the beach.  Flamenco Beach is the most important tourist attraction on the island and the principal driver of income for both the Municipality and the residents. The economy of Culebra can not recover if Flamenco Beach is not restored. The restoration of the beach facilities is essential if Culebra is going to once again be a destination that both residents and tourists from around the world.

We need the financial resources continue our restoration plan. The Municipality of Culebra and the Government of Puerto Rico can not provide the resources required.
