Why Vieques?

El Malecon, which loosely translates to "boardwalk" in English, is the social hub of Vieques.  Featuring restuarants, bars, shops, and local artists, you can eat and drink the day--and night--away as you meander along the caribbean sea.

Within walking distance to El Blok, and one of Puerto Rico's only award winning, "Blue Flag" beaches, Sun Bay is a dreamscape for a lazy day at the beach.

Surrounded by mangrove and protected from the open ocean, Mosquito Bay has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records for being the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world.  The trippy glowing phenomenon is courtesy of millions of microorganisms called dinoflagellates that use their ability to "light up" as a protection mechanism when disturbed.  Add to that the fact that Vieques experiences almost no light pollution and your experience on the bay goes from magical to mythical.

Laced with volcanic rock, Playa Negra is on of Puerto Rico's only black sand beaches.  Not only is this beach an adventure, getting there is too.  Access is limited to a gentle hike down a creek bed that feels almost jurassic in nature.

What better way to see the hillsides, panoramic views, and breathtaking vistas of Vieques, than on horseback?

Possibly the only way to set your eyes (and feet) on inaccessible land and beaches.  Sail the day away in the blue Caribbean Sea and see Vieques from a different perspective.

Let your love of Vieques go more than surface deep with a curated snorkeling tour.  Rays, turtles, and brightly colored fish are just a small portion of the adundant sealife Vieques is home to.

Maximize your adventure

Fortín Conde de Mirasol is a small fort that sits on a hill, providing a fantastic view of the mainland and nearby cays. Although never completed, this was the last fort built by the Spaniards in the Americas. It now houses an art and history museum, and hosts the Historic Archives along with a radio station

More than 60% of Vieques is covered by the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge, which includes several beaches, bays, mangrove forests, salt flats, and trails. Spend the day hiking, bird-watching, beach-hopping, kayaking, sailing, diving, paddleboarding, or horseback riding, depending on your mood.
