Description
Vieques is a small island about seven miles off the coast of Puerto Rico on the edge of the Caribbean Sea. It is about 20 miles long and five miles or so wide at its widest. The center of the island is hills going up to about 300ft, falling off on either side to a coastal plain. There are many beautiful and uncrowded beaches.
The climate is warm and subtropical year round. The sea is warm and inviting. Coconut palms grace the beaches, inland Mangoes and Banana plants grow everywhere. White Brahma cows and horses are often seen wandering in the roads - even in town. At night you will hear choirs of tree frogs, the distant sound of the sea, wind rustling in the banana trees, and dawn choruses of Cockerels.
About two thirds of Vieques is unoccupied and given over to park and nature reserves, a very rare thing in the Caribbean. This is due to a long and difficult history that Vieques has had with the US Navy. However, in 2001 the US Navy relinquished the western end of the island, and in May 2003 they gave up the eastern end of the island, creating a unique reserve.
