After much rave about Navio beach, I had to check it out. I show up to the most seaweed I've seen on any of the beaches, their strongest current (but still not enough to boogey board), and caves off to the left that seem cool but are very dangerous at high tide. Not to mention that getting here you need... More

This is my preferred beach in Vieques... it is wild, secluded... a tropical paradise. It is difficult to reach.... and I count this is a positive thing! The "road" there is full of holes and mud... and you have to pass Sun Bay and Media Luna beaches. You will need a Jeep or other 4x4 vehicle. If you are brave... More

We spent two days at Navio in April. Of all the beaches in Vieques, this is in my top 3. Crystal clear water, great for swimming, and a fantastic view. Not the best on super windy days. More

This beach was 2nd on my list of favorites (first being Secret). You shouldn't miss this one. Slightly more waves here than on Secret. More

Navio beach is straight out of a Corona commercial. Total seclusion, serene beach, crystal blue water, soft sand, picturesque rock formations and a gentle surf. The road trip to this beach is half the adventure. You must have a Jeep to get back to this beach, I strongly recommend renting one. Navio beach is a close tie with Blue Beach... More

Navio beach is located close to Esperanza via Sun BAy on a remote road. It is very difficult to get to by car, you need a jeep or a high vehicle. The road to Navio is full of holes (deep holes). So, try not to drink on your way there or you'll spill it all over your clothing. Once at... More

Wonderful beach with the bluest water we had seen so far in Vieques (which is saying a lot). There are cool caves on each side which were fun to explore. On the left side you could easily walk in which the kids love. Very bumpy road to get there but well worth it! More
