Beaches

Although Vieques boasts a wide variety of beaches, one of the more unique gems is Playa Negrita (Black Sand Beach).  It is somewhat off the beaten path and doesn't get all the publicity of many o

Imagine a 1.5 mile long stretch of deserted sugar sand beach and warm turquoise Caribbean Sea.

The turn-off to Garcia Beach is found just as you get to Red Beach on the Old Camp Garcia Navy Base.

Hidden along the north shore of Vieques is a beach that doesn't get discovered by many tourists, and that's a shame because it has some of the prettiest views on the island.

Green Beach is on the far western tip of Vieques, and gives the best view of the main island of Puerto Rico.

Although Secret Beach is not so "secret" these days, it still doesn't show up on most beach maps.

The beach at Sun Bay is the most popular and well know beach on Vieques. It's a long gently curved bay with very wide sandy beach and of course the warm waters of the Caribbean. This spot is popular with families because it has bathroom facilities and a space to shower off. If you get there early you can find a spot under one of the palm trees to set your chairs and blankets out.
