THE ROUTE

Panoramic northern-coast drive

A guided drive across Vieques’s north side takes you past viewing points and local landmarks—stops called out include Mosquito Pier and the Ceiba Tree—setting the tone with broad coastal vistas before beach time.

THE BEACHES

Choose from Caracas, Sun Bay and Esperanza beaches

The itinerary lets your group pick up to three beaches to visit: Caracas Beach (noted for its white sand), Sun Bay Beach, and Esperanza Beach, a lunch spot with fishermen activity and shops; there’s also an option for a shorter Black Sand Beach hike.

THE LOCAL TOUCH

Breakfast, shopping and a museum stop

The day begins with roughly 1.5 hours for breakfast or shopping in Isabel Segunda and offers the option to visit the Museo Conde de Mirasol, anchoring the tour with cultural and practical stops before the island drive and beach visits.
