Red Beach (Caracas) had the softest and finest sand of the Vieques beaches and it extended well into the water.

Enjoyed this beach because of the little picnic table shelters available. There are reefs for snorkeling at either end of the beach and we enjoyed that very much. More

Gorgeous white sand and turquoise waters. Gazebos and palm trees will give you shade. Snorkel on the point to the left. Very nice. The most popular Refuge beach. More

One of the busier beaches, but still, busy by Vieques's standards (at least as of January 2012) means maybe 20-30 people on the whole beach. There were also some cool rock and coral formations surrounding the beach and it had probably the clearest water I've ever seen. More
