INTRODUCTION TO VIEQUES

Punta Mulas Lighthouse

Welcome to Vieques Island Travel Guide where we hope to provide you with all the information you need to plan a wonderful Caribbean vacation on this mostly undeveloped island.

Vieques Island, also called La Isla Nena (small girl island), is a tropical Caribbean island with so many pristine beaches you are likely to find one just for yourself any day of the week. Most beaches are undeveloped, surrounded by wild native flora instead of concrete and asphalt. This is a place where horses are allowed to roam freely. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, secluded bays... Come and see what true tropical sandy beaches are like.

Vieques sports the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. If there is something you must do during your lifetime is to dive from the deck of a boat on a moonless night into the dark and serene Caribbean waters. You will see the water splash up in a burst of millions of lights like fireworks from undersea. As you move through the water you glow like a diving angel, and when you resurface, thousands of sparkling lights remain on you, if only for a brief moment, as if you were part of the magic. This natural wonder is still around for your enjoyment. Do not miss a trip to the biobay while in Vieques.

So that you do not experience cultural shock, this is a summary of what you will and will not see in Vieques. You will see loose animals crossing the roads, they could be chicken, or horses, rarely a cow, but most often a wild iguana, so be careful when driving around curves. You will be awaken by the sound of singing roosters at dawn unless your room has A/C. You will not see any traffic lights, Mc Donald's, or T-shirt-shop-laden-street. Expect the driver in front to stop at any minute to greet the driver on the opposite lane. And expect the sun to be out, it does not rain much in Vieques and when it does the sun usually prevails.
