Carlos Rosario Beach (Impact Beach) - Snorkelling the Wall

As we continued on our circumnavigation we had a down-wind sail along Culebra's north shore, turned south at the island's northwest point and coned our way along the west coast to pick up a mooring ball at Carlos Rosario Beach. We were now within the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge boundary.
At this location a 15 foot wall of coral extends out from the sand beach offering extraordinary snorkelling.
The crystal clear water made for easy viewing of the many different huge corals and fans as well as a multitude of multi-coloured fish. Of note were an unusual number of blue fish as well as parrotfish. We even had the opportunity to swim along with several hawksbill turtles.
The wall of coral extends for a full mile along the shore-line - truly a most spectacular reef which Culebra boasts to be their best snorkelling area.
This was our last stop on our circumnavigation. We continued southward along Culebra's west coast, turned the corner eastward and made our way through the buoyed channel to arrive back in Ensenada Honda.
Our circumnavigation took 6 days during which we enjoyed exploring in Culebra's natural beauty.
