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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vieques
How do I get to Vieques?
Take the ferry from Ceiba (near Fajardo) — about 30 minutes, or fly from San Juan or Ceiba on small prop planes (15-25 min). Book ferry tickets well in advance online. An overnight stay is recommended to experience the bio bay at night.
When is the best time to see the bioluminescent bay?
The bio bay glows year-round, but it's brightest during new moon phases when there's no moonlight competing. Avoid visiting right after heavy rain, which can temporarily reduce the brightness.
