Beach Stop – Sun Bay Beach

Enjoy approximately 1.5 hours at Sun Bay Beach, one of Vieques' most beautiful and iconic beaches. This is our primary beach stop, where you'll have time to swim, relax on the soft sand, and enjoy the island's crystal-clear Caribbean waters.

Sun Bay Beach is a breathtaking half-moon-shaped beach lined with palm trees, featuring calm turquoise waters and a peaceful atmosphere. As Vieques' most accessible beach, it also offers public facilities, making it the perfect place to unwind and experience one of the island's most scenic beaches.

Alternative Beach Location: In the event that sea, wind, or weather conditions make Sun Bay Beach unsuitable, we may instead visit Caracas Beach or Gallitos Beach to provide the safest and most enjoyable beach experience possible.
