My Puerto Rico adventure was made complete by the stunning beach that left an indelible impression on me. On my last day, which also happened to be my birthday, I was fortunate enough to bask in the tranquility of this paradise. The beach was not crowded, and we had our own secluded spot to soak up the sun. The crystal-clear blue water was mesmerizing, and the sun's rays were just the right temperature. Spending my birthday and final day in PR in this idyllic setting was a dream come true.

The beach was absolutely stunning and pleasantly uncrowded. The sand was incredibly fine both on the shore and in the water. While the snorkeling experience wasn't quite what we had hoped for, we did spot a stingray. Unfortunately, there were not many corals or reefs to explore, which limited our chances of seeing more fish. On the downside, the directions provided by Google Maps were terrible. It led us through some dirt roads that cut across the reserve and even took us to non-existent roads. We strongly recommend following route 997, which is the main road to the Nature Reserve. Once you pass the gate, the signage is clear, and the roads are in good condition.

Without a doubt, this was the most beloved beach on Vieques. The water was so transparent, the sand felt like silk, and there was hardly any seaweed in sight. The water was invigorating and quite tranquil. To access this beach, you must pass through the National Wildlife Refuge, but keep in mind that there are no palm trees to provide shade on the beach.

The beach was simply breathtaking. We were blessed with ample space and didn't feel like sardines in a can. The cherry on top was the opportunity to snorkel in this paradise. The west side of the small island was teeming with fish and coral structures that left us in awe. It was like being in a National Geographic documentary, but better because we were actually there!

The beach that has captured my heart is truly exceptional. Its serene atmosphere, velvety sand, and level terrain are simply breathtaking. There are no waves to disrupt the tranquility, nor are there any throngs of people to jostle for space. The water is perfect for swimming and even offers the opportunity for some snorkeling. To top it all off, there are charming cabanas to provide shade and a little privacy. It's hard to imagine a more perfect spot.
