Culebrita Jacuzzis (Baños de Culebrita)
18° 19.0′ N · 65° 13.5′ W · approximate
Large rock-ringed tidal pools on Culebrita's exposed northeast shore where Atlantic swells surge in and fizz like a natural hot tub, and small fish get trapped at low tide.
Practical
Position is approximate: the pools are on Culebrita's east side (Wikipedia); pinned at the nearby east-shore beach mapped by OpenStreetMap as 'Playa Culebrita' (way 426914883). Wikipedia: large tidal pools on the east side trap small sea life at low tide. Reached by a walk east from Playa Tortuga. In big north or east swell the surge here is dangerous: watch the sets before getting in. No exact position or official access information was found.
