Culebra & Vieques Puerto Rico

Vieques, Puerto Rico

Vieques is a small island municipality off Puerto Rico's east coast, accessible by ferry or small plane from the mainland. Once home to a US Navy base, much of the island is now a National Wildlife Refuge with pristine, undeveloped beaches. Vieques is home to Mosquito Bay, certified as the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world by Guinness World Records. The island offers a laid-back Caribbean vibe with local restaurants, wild horses roaming freely, and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean — many accessible only by dirt roads.
