Vieques, located just 6 miles off the east coast of Puerto Rico, is 21 miles long and 9 miles wide. There are no cities, traffic lights or fast food restaurants; only two charming towns and the largest wildlife refuge in the Caribbean. Isabel Segunda, located on the north side, is where most of the nine thousand residents live and work. You will want to visit Fort Conde de Mirasol, the last fort built by the Spaniards in the 'new world', as well as Punta Mulas Lighthouse, with its beautiful views. Esperanza, located on the south side, is a small fishing village with a boardwalk lined with restaurants, guest houses and several small shops. The beaches of Sun Bay, Media Luna and Navio are nearby.
