So calm! Like a pool. Great small beach close to town - walkable. Gorgeous view. If I go back, this will be the first beach I visit.

When our granddaughter was small she called this "my beach". Perfect for little ones as it is so shallow for so far out and the sand is fine like talcum powder. Snorkeling is okay at the mouth of the bay but it is a long, long swim so don't attempt unless you are a strong swimmer. There is nothing to... More

not as nice as caracas beach but still worth the trip, good for snorkling and calm waters. no beaches are at all crowded and I DO NOT suggest snorkling without others around

Media Luna beach is beautiful, very nice, but it pales in comparison with other beaches in Vieques, like nearby Playa Navio. It's a good beach for children, it's like a big shallow swimming pool.

Too many sea grass. They make the clear water looks so dark. I wasn't impressed. Thailand beach (Phuket) is much more beautiful. I wouldn't return.

A bit rough to get to past Sun Bay, but well worth it. Small, crescent bay, totally protected and perfect, clear water. I think there were 2 or 3 other cars there besides us. Doesn't get much better than this! Find a palm tree, open the beach chair and chill like you've never chilled before!!

one of the better beaches on the island and not too tough to get to. Would definitely include this on your list of beaches to hit

A half-moon-shaped beach, protected from the usual wind and rough waves. The sand is white, the shades of blue vary, and it's quite peaceful to sit at one end of the beach in the shade -- otherwise there's not much foliage/shade here. At the one end were also little tidepools with fish & small crabs to admire. Though sandy, some... More

After 2 weeks in Esperanza this became our beach of choice. The sand is amazingly soft the softer waves make this a great beach to just hang out float, lay on the soft sand and float or swim around some more until the you have had enough if there is such a thing. On all our visits the beach was... More
