Sightseeing
One of the most luminous bioluminescent bays in the world. Take as late a tour as you can and on a night with as little moonlight as possible. It's a must see even with a full moon but is best on a dark night.

Lovely outdoor dining spot for breakfast and lunch. The food is terrific but it can take a minute to get seated and served so not a place to go if you're in a hurry.

Beaches
Vieques is the perfect place to relax on some of the best beaches in the Caribbean. There are dozens of them, and you can go from Media Luna with its powdery-white sand and clear blue calm waters, to Playa Negra with its unique black sand, sea glass, and strong currents. They are never crowded and many of them are pretty remote. You can find the perfect one to swim, snorkel, surf, or just bliss out in the warm sand. ViequesInsider.com has a great beach guide that has detailed information on many of them @ https://viequesinsider.com/vieques-beach-guide-download-page/.
