This is what Caribbean beaches are supposed to be like--swimmable water, soft white sand, gorgeous natural landscape around. And there's even a few covered gazebos. Perfectly paved road to get here, though it's a bit of a drive from town. More

The go to for us. Secret Beach and Red Beach were the major draws. Red Beach became the fave since the paved road helped us keep our breakfast intact. Such a beautiful lagoon feel with all those shades of blue. I will go back every day again on our next visit. Totally what we had hoped for on Vieques! (:> More

Nice beach for beginners and intermediate snorkelers alike. Turtle, sea urchin, octopus and conch along with sea fans and an array of different coral. I found all of this within 200 yards of shore. The beach has soft sand and a gentle slope which I saw a lot of kids playing. More

We spent two days of our trip on this beach, it is gorgeous. While this beach had the most people on it than any other during our trip, it was by no means crowded.

Snorkeling is supposed to be good here but I didnt... More
