These pictures were taken during a boat trip around the Fish and Wildlife Reserve, previously the U.S. Navy, in Vieques. We departed from the fishermen's dock in Isabel II and headed east, turned around the eastern tip and cruised from the tip to the Esperanza harbor. As soon as we took off we started passing several beautiful beaches. many not accessible by boat because of the reefs surrounding them. Beach names like Puerto Negro, Puerto Diablo, Playa Mameyes, Playa Blanca, Playa Brava, Playa Carrucho o Playa Allende came up. These names had been lost to us in Vieques for decades and now they are being reclaimed. Note that these beaches are currently off-limits by land. Some have warning signs about unexploded ordinance and are in the process of being cleaned. You enter these waters and beaches on your own risk and can be asked to leave by Wildlife rangers or Navy personnel. Fines might be applicable.
