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.

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.

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.

Drove to Caracas and decided not to stay. The beach and cove looked beautiful. And there appeared to be restrooms. But it was just too crowded for our liking. Must have been 200 people there.

Beautiful little beach with calm waters and a few covered cabanas with picnic tables. Perfect for soaking up the sun and having a picnic lunch.
