In the eastern half of the island, a Wildlife Refuge offers the possibility to experience nature in its wildest, most beautiful form.

Where to start? Vieques has dozens of amazing beaches to explore and perfect for every occasion. If you are travelling with small children, Media Luna and Sun Bay beach are perfect due to their easy access and shallow waters. If, on the other hand, you are on a honeymoon, you also have small, isolated beaches like Caracas beach to enjoy. If you think Hawaii is the only place in the U.S. where there are black sandy beaches, you will be surprised when you see Playa Negrita. Tens of different possibilities within only a few miles!
