We arrived on a Thursday morning post memorial day weekend around 10:15 am. There were about 10 other people there before the 6 of us arrived and everyone was spaced out so it seemed "private". There are several covered pavillions that had picnic tables and some shade if you wanted to picnic or have shade, etc. Around lunch time either... More

we took a cab ($30 round trip – should have rented a car) to Caracas beach (Playa Caracas aka. Red Beach). It was beautiful. I will post pictures later. But I could have spent all day there. Beware of petty theft. Nothing happened to us, but we were VERY alert. Bring an umbrella it’s hot in that sun. There are... More

The Bio Bay may be the reason people first choose to visit Vieques, but the chain-link of undeveloped beaches along the SE shore of Vieques off Road 997 between Esperanza and Isabel II is probably the reason most people would return to Vieques. Lots is written as to why these beaches are undeveloped, and my guess is that they will... More

Gorgeous - crystal clear water, Caribbean blue and green...white sand, shade, picnic facilities. Plenty of parking. Watch out for the sand burrs in the grass but otherwise it's an absolutely stunning bit of beach.

Nice beach. Walk furthest away to the right from the beach. You'll find an incredible spot with a big palm tree and mangroves behind it.

Vieques has some of the best beaches in the world. Tried a new one everyday of or vacation. This was another beautiful, sandy beach with easy access to the water. Bumpy roads to get to the beach though.

The beach is wonderful. A little crowded with no restrooms. The water is crystal clear, but the snorkeling left a little to be desired. Waves were mellow, great beach hangout with kids. Bring a picnic.
