Sun Bay (Vieques)

Mosquito Bay is popular in the evenings, but the island of Vieques' daytime beachcombers like the chalky sands and serene vantage point of southwestern Sun Bay. It's also the only beach on Vieques with public facilities and the town of Esperanza (and its restaurants and bars) is just a short walk away.

While San Juan's beaches have a distinctly "city" vibe, Travelers appreciate Vieques' seclusion. A Yahoo! Travel writer says, "Vieques is the most beautiful island out there, the beaches are beautiful and the peace is incredible. The people are very friendly and there's fruit every where you go."

Sun Bay is open from dawn to dusk. There's a small parking fee.
