All About Vieques…

The New York Times called Vieques an “undiscovered jewel,” and I most definitely agree. The population of this 21 mile long island is 9,000 friendly people and wild horses, of course! The horses roam freely all over the island and on the road also, but they are used to vehicles!

Vieques is undeveloped because of the US Navy presence for sixty years, but they’ve been gone for the last ten years. Some areas of the island are restricted, and in some places, there are bunkers (leftover from Navy days). We loved exploring unexpected places!

There are only two main towns: Isabel Segunda, the economic center of the island, and Esperanza, a town along the beach with a great boardwalk. This is one evening along the Malecon, or boardwalk!

There aren’t lots of places I want to travel to twice, but I would love to go to quaint and charming Vieques again!
