Known for having one of the best views in Culebra and a full criollo menu, Dinghy Dock is also one of the spots where you can enjoy modern cocktails at the water's edge.
The restaurant, visited by tourists and locals alike, has become the go-to spot for unwinding after a day at the beach. "We have an excellent location overlooking Culebra bay. Dinghy Dock is also an extremely peaceful place, which will make for a relaxing and enjoyable time," Shayara Diaz Mora, co-owner of the restaurant, told Platea during our visit.
As part of the Cocktail Derby Bar Rescue program, an initiative of Rones de Puerto Rico, Dinghy Dock's bar was recently renovated to give it a modern touch that contrasts with the waves and the sea.

"The Cocktail Derby Bar Rescue from Rums of Puerto Rico helped us enormously, especially after being closed for around 8 months because of Covid-19. Rums helped us complete the design we wanted for the bar and add things that made it a little more eye-catching," Diaz Mora said of the project, which was carried out in partnership with the Departamento de Desarrollo Económico y Comercio program.
Located about a five-minute walk from the Culebra ferry terminal, Dinghy Dock is the go-to place for saying goodbye to the island municipality with a refreshing drink in hand. Beyond classic cocktails like the piña colada and the mojito, one of the most popular drinks here is the "Partly Cloudy." This cocktail contains aged rum, ginger ale, simple syrup, lemon juice and house-made ginger juice.

Another favorite is the "Rum Punch," a mix of Ron del Barrilito Tres Estrellas, Club Caribe coconut rum and fruit juice. Both can be paired with any of the dishes on the menu, which specializes in criollo food and fresh seafood. "The whole fried red snapper is always a hit. It's fresh and we prepare it nice and crispy. Everyone also talks about how juicy and flavorful our churrasco is. The flavor is in the secret marinade recipe," Diaz Mora said with a smile.
So there you have it: a beach day in Culebra is definitely better with rum. Enjoy it with Rums of Puerto Rico.
