Beach stop at Sun Bay Beach or Esperanza Beach.

Relax and enjoy crystal clear waters.
We will visit one or the other depending on itinerary timing and sea weather conditions. 1-hour

Sunbay Beach, and Esperanza Beach in Vieques are one of the most amazing places to relax and enjoy beautiful crystal-clear waters in a peaceful paradise! We will visit one or the other depending on itinerary timing and sea weather conditions. 1-hour



Half-moon-shaped Sun Bay Beach has it all: palm-lined sand, clear turquoise waters, sparse crowds, and pretty much all the facilities a beach-goer could want. As one of the most accessible beaches on Vieques — as well as the only beach offering public facilities — it’s a popular option for day-trippers to the island. The water is calm, with only a few gentle waves, so it’s an ideal beach for swimming, particularly at the far eastern end.

4

El Malecon is a favorite hangout for both visitors and residents on the charming coast of Barrio Esperanza on the south side of Vieques. Visitors can choose from a variety of restaurants ranging from casual to finer cuisine with the bonus of a gorgeous sunset every afternoon of the year.
