Luisa’s Favorite Scenic Spots around Vieques
Travel to me is much more than a getaway from routine, travel is a journey in which I make many stops along the way to find the uniqueness of a place and marvel at God’s beautiful creations.
Vieques is a a favorite place of mine, because there are so many spots where I forget about the developed world and it seems as if I am the only person there. I find myself feeling very special as I am totally embraced by endless beauty which at that moment is Just for Me.
The following are some of my favorite places on Isla de Vieques where I find peace, where I pray and meditate on God’s marvelous creations. When you get to Vieques, take time to find YOUR own special place.
Difficult to describe the beauty of this place. You don’t think you are in the Western Hemisphere, it feels more like you are on a far island on the Pacific. There is not a soul around, beautiful rock formations that time has turned into works of art, you can see black sand from afar and if you happen to be there during sunset… well it’s just amazing how the sun sets behind Monte Pirata.

Take off your sandals, sit on a rock, let the water caress your feet and enjoy the Amazing views of Monte Pirata, Cayo Afuera, Clear Turquoise Waters, Colorful Fisherman Boats and leaning palm trees along the shore.
The entire way to Playa Negrita is an adventure. The scenery is rugged and I can’t wait until I get to this point. Then I just sit on the soft glimmering volcanic sand and wait for a glimpse of the sunset as a reminder that I must head back before it gets too dark.
Right across the ocean from Playa Cofi you can admire the mother island of Puerto Rico new-window, to the right you can see the coast along Isabel Segunda, watch the ferry’s arrival, the lighthouse and the colorful homes scattered on the very green Isla de Vieques. This beach is very unique with dark orange rock formations along the beach, and the treasures of beach glass scattered on the sand.
Playa Grande – Very, very lush location where a lagoon and beach meet. Plenty of rocks serve as front row seats where the sounds of the ocean and rocks create a symphony which pelicans dance to accompanied by the cooling breeze.
Amazing spot where you can see almost the entire length of Bahia de La Chiva (Blue Beach), the vegetation is lush, the cay is surrounded by rocks and shallow water with tropical fish right at your feet. Truly a spot to awaken all your senses. It feels like watching a live postcard.
This is the view from Villa Gallega. It’s problematic to stay at this house because you simply just want to sit on the deck and admire the view, see the ferry leave and arrive and watch the starry sky before ending the day.
You go from rugged waters with grainy sand adorned with broken shells and cliffs on the background to palm lined beaches with soft white sands and calm turquoise waters.
Venture out by foot and discover why so many visitors come back time and time again. The beauty and solitude are like no other place in the Caribbean. YOU are also beautifully created, come to Vieques and connect with the beauty of this place, be still, be quiet, be loved.
