Soft white sand, swaying palm trees, gentle trade winds —whatever you do on Vieques, you’ll do it at the most beautiful beaches you will ever see. Whether you’re playing beach volleyball, riding horseback or walking for hours on end, you can still find a beach all to yourself—unspoiled and private. Besides swimming, there’s snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, boating and fantastic deep-sea fishing!

There is something for everyone on Vieques, whether you want to relax or plan to take in every sight. Even if you are a stay-at-home, lounge by the pool person, you must experience a nighttime visit to world famous Bioluminescent Bay—Bahía Bioluminiscente. A visit to this extraordinary place will leave you glowing—literally. The Bay's waters contain millions of luminescent microscopic organisms that react to the motion of fish, kayak paddles and swimmers.

For local color, take in the shops, galleries, restaurants and nightlife of Esperanza and Isabel Segunda. With nearly 30 local eateries to choose from, you won’t go hungry. Try the paella—a traditional seafood and rice dish—at Taverna Espanola or delicious fish and fine steak at Chez Shack.
