Tucked away in Vieques, Pata Prieta (Secret Beach) offers a peaceful escape from crowded tourist beaches. Small turquoise cove accessed via refuge road; no services. (ViequesBeachMap)
Access: short path from pullout. Parking is limited but usually available due to the beach's remote location.
No lifeguards are present. Swim at your own risk and never swim alone. Apply waterproof sunscreen regularly - the tropical sun is strong. Check weather conditions before visiting, especially during hurricane season (June-November).
Best season: December through April offers the most pleasant weather with lower humidity. Morning visits (8am-11am) provide the best combination of good weather and manageable crowds.
