Where and when

Position, and the shape of the year.

Both panels are drawn from facts the atlas holds: recorded coordinates and the latitude itself. Neither is a forecast.

Locator map of Culebra: sourced beach coordinates around 18.332, -65.321, with the destination centre marked
335 sourced beach records inside a frame roughly 432 km wide, plotted server-side from the atlas index over Natural Earth land outlines (public domain). The marked point is the coordinate in this record; every other mark is a beach record you can open from the directory.
Hours between sunrise and sunset, computed from latitude 18.332 alone. This is astronomy, not weather: no temperature, swell, rainfall or “best month” claim is implied for Culebra. Longest around Jun (13h 06m), shortest around Dec (10h 54m) — a 2.2-hour swing across the year.
