We rode out to Fajardo on the eastern coast and were about to hop on the fairy when we found out it sold out. You have to make sure you get there early and on time if you want a guaranteed ride. I believe the fairy only goes out to the islands like 3 times a day.

Anyway, we chatted it up another couple who happened to be fluent in Spanish (not entirely necessary, but helpful for a great time in PR) and caught a taxi cab together for a ride to the airport nearby. We ended up getting a flight into Culebra Island on a small 6-seater plane. It only cost us like $25 for a one way trip. It was worth every penny. The ride was like 10 minutes but scenic. We get to Culebra and then got ride to Flamenco (I think that was the name) Beach. Surprisingly, it wasn't that crowded. Crystal clear waters and great food nearby. We spent the entire afternoon there and caught the fairy back (like a good 45 minutes or so) at like 5 or 6.
