This beach was "crowded" just about every single time we went to visit there. Crowded meaning like the next set of people are about 15 feet or so away from you. It really is a great beach, but with its notoriety on here. Good luck trying to find it all to yourself. Go down to Blue beach and you'll find... More

This was my favorite beach on Vieques. The sand here was perfect sugary sand and crystal clear water. The beach was not crowded and it was easy to find your own private palm tree for shade. This beach backs up to the treeline so it is advisable to have a dry bag to take valuables into the water with you.... More

Woo! Great lagoon feel and so very secret due to the slippery trail to the beach and trepadacious (sp?) journey on the trails to get there - 4 wheel drive recommended. Exactly what we were seeking in a calm and laid back beach. Water clarity and color is beyond expectaions and snorkeling towards the east is fun. LOVE! (:> More

Not many people. Was able to climb through the rocks on the far end of the beach fro some great pictures. Snorkeling was amazing, but there is nothing on this beach so you must bring your own gear. More

Only one other family (of 8) there. Not sure how they all go there tho. Only one car and then it left, but they were still there. Walk to the end and see the rock stacks people make. More

I would highly recommend renting a jeep and driving around the island and seeing all the small island has to offer. Nothing like seeing wild horses on a beach with island in the distance! More

Compared to Thailand and... More

I like this beach because it is relatively small, secluded and quiet. The water is very calm, though not as calm as Media Luna. There is some shade but not much. An umbrella is useful if you do not want to burn... The parking only holds 7-8 cars so get there early on Sundays... tha's the only day that I... More

I liked this beach of all the ones we visited while on Vieques. There are no waves and it was truly picturesque. More
