Puerto Rico's Vieques Island
I saw a lot of Vieques Island during the week that I did these photographs. But it's really just a taste of all there is to see and do there. Lying just 8 miles off the Puerto Rico mainland, Vieques may be small in size, but is overly generous in its features. And since it is 21 miles long by 5 miles at it's widest, everything is easy to get to, though I would recommend a jeep.
Imagine visiting 1 or 2 different beautiful beaches every day, and sometimes have the entire beach to yourself.. Picture wild horses all over the island. Choose from lodging that ranges from a hostel to camping on the beach, to ultra luxurious accomodations. Satisfy your appetite at roadside stands or fine dining restaurants.
No casinos. No raucous nightlife. And not a single stoplight.
Hike, scuba, snorkel, boat, fish, ride horseback, shoot trap, kayak on what some say is the world's best bio-luminescent bay, sunbathe, daydream, bike, shop, go shelling, ferry over to the mainland for the rain forest - Or spend a week doing nearly a thousand photos as I did. Enjoy.

Vieques (/viːˈeɪkɪs/; Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbjekes], locally [ˈbjẽke]), in full Isla de Vieques, is an island–municipality of Puerto Rico (U.S.) in the northeastern Caribbean, part of an island grouping sometimes known as the Spanish Virgin Islands. Vieques is part of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and retains strong influences from 400 years of Spanish presence in the island.
Vieques lies about 8 miles (13 km) east of the Puerto Rican mainland, and measures about 21 miles (34 km) long by 4 miles (6 km) wide. Its most populated barrio is Isabel Segunda (sometimes written Isabel II), the administrative center on the northern side of the island. The population of Vieques was 9,301 at the 2010 Census.
The island's name is a Spanish spelling of an American Indian word (likely Taíno) said to mean small island. It also has the nickname Isla Nena, usually translated from the Spanish as Little Girl Island, alluding to its perception as Puerto Rico's little sister. During the colonial period, the British name was Crab Island.Hurricane Maria is an extremely powerful tropical cyclone which recently made landfall on Dominica, and is currently threatening the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic. The thirteenth named storm, seventh hurricane, fourth major hurricane, and second Category 5 hurricane of the unusually active 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, Maria formed on September 16 out of a tropical wave that was monitored by the National Hurricane Center beginning on September 14. It is the third major hurricane in a row to threaten the Leeward Islands with a direct strike or major impacts within two weeks, after Hurricane Irma caused catastrophic damage there and Jose, then a Category 4 hurricane, passed dangerously close just days after. At 23:30 UTC on September 18, Maria strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane, therefore making the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season the first since 2007 to feature two Category 5 hurricanes, and one of only six Atlantic hurricane seasons to feature two or more Category 5 hurricanes, as well as only the second (after 2007) to feature two hurricanes making landfall at Category 5 intensity.

Vieques Island Exploration - Spanish Virgin Islands
Thank you for viewing this video about my sailing cruise travels Aboard The Guiding Light. In Season 3 Episode 3, we will start exploring Vieques, an island just off the east coast of Puerto Rico and part of the Spanish Virgin Islands.
As we begin our sailing cruise, we first visit Isabella II, the island's main settlement. This town and its surrounding area have a lot of rich history. On the east end of Vieques, we sail by some equally historical anchorages.
Later into the cruise, we arrive at Esperanza and Mosquito Bay, perhaps one of the most spectacular areas in all of Vieques.
