BLACK SAND BEACH ON PUERTO RICO?! | Vieques Island Honeymoon | Vegan food
It's my honeymoon! My husband and I decided to visit the beautiful island of Vieques! We stayed three days, and basically did everything a couple does on a honeymoon. You know! Have adventures on beaches, eat, romantic walks, etc. Did you know Vieques has a black sand beach?! It was the best part of the trip! Besides the clear water beaches and the awesome food, of course! Enjoy!

THE GLOWING BIO BAY IN VIEQUES PUERTO RICO
Mosquito Bay or Bio Bay in Vieques, Puerto Rico is an amazing place. It is the brightest glowing bioluminescent bay in the world. I jumped on a few kayak tours during the night of a new moon and saw this incredible light show.
Honestly, it was more amazing that I imagined. I had read a review or two, but wasn't sure if it was worth the trip to the island. It was. The bay is extremely bright, and until now, it was very hard to capture on camera. I recently picked up a Sony a7s which is a beast in low light, and was impressed with that it could capture. This has rarely ever been caught on Camera.
The government is doing a good job at keeping this place pristine. In some areas of the world you can jump in, splash around, use gasoline engines, and generally just destroy the ecosystem these little guys live in. Here in Vieques, Puerto Rico, you are not allowed to swim, or use gasoline. Nearby light pollution has to be kept to a minimum, and there give Bio Bay some days off now and again to recover. This is probably why it remains the brightest in the world. High Five for sustainable eco tourism. I wish everywhere was this forward thinking.
This was one of my best travel experiences. Like I said, it's worth the trip!

My Trip to Vieques, Puerto Rico | All Hands and Hearts | Black Sand Beach | Bioiluminescent Bay | The Lazy Hostel
Going to Vieques was something I wanted to do on my first trip to Puerto Rico and it just didn't work out, but I wasn't going to miss on the second trip and I am so glad that I didn't. The people were so friendly, the weather was beautiful and the beaches were breathtaking. It is also one of the only places you can see not only the bioluminescent bay, but also a black sand beach (Playa Negra).
Volunteering with All Hands and Hearts was a life changing experience. This is my first time on a volunteering project like this and I really learned a lot. It is truly amazing the difference you can make it peoples lives by giving a little bit of your time and effort and the amazing people you can meet along the way.
All Hands and Hearts is a unique company in the sense that they do not require you to pay to volunteer (however, they do ask that you fund raise although it is not mandatory). They really care about their volunteers and the communities they work with.
