Top Beaches in Vieques Island

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach food isn't bad, but it can be pricey, and you don't want to break the bank just for a cold drink!

If you want to save some cash on meals, check out the local food trucks. They serve awesome Puerto Rican food at a fraction of the price of the sit-down places. I loved the mofongo from one of the stalls!

Bring your own snorkeling gear if you can! The underwater life was amazing, and renting gear can get pricey. Plus, you'll have it handy whenever you want to explore.

I think you should wear water shoes – the black sand can get pretty hot! I regret not wearing some and my feet were burning!

My advice is to arrive around 9 AM. The morning light is perfect for photos and it's way less crowded than later in the day.

I recommend checking out the nearby trails before heading home. We stumbled upon some amazing views that weren't in any guidebook!

Don’t forget to grab a beach umbrella or rent one. The sun can be really strong, and I got burned way faster than I expected. Shade really makes a difference.
