Vieques, in full Isla de Vieques, is an island-municipality of Puerto Rico in the northeastern Caribbean, part of an island grouping sometimes known as the Spanish Virgin Islands. Vieques lies about 8 miles (13 km) to the east of the Puerto Rican mainland, and measures approximately 21 miles (34 km) long by 4 miles (6 km) wide.
The two main towns of Vieques are Isabel Segunda ,the administrative center located on the northern side of the island, and Esperanza, located on the southern side.
The island's name is a Spanish spelling of a Native American word said to mean "small island". It also has the nickname "Isla Nena".
The beaches at the Refuge are pristine, clear, undeveloped,plentiful, and surrounded by wild native flora instead of concrete and asphalt. This is a place where horses are allowed to roam freely. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, secluded bays. Come and see what true tropical sandy beaches are like. Vieques sports the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world. If there is something you must do during your vacation in Isla de Vieques is to dive from the deck of a boat on a moonless night into the dark and serene biobay waters. You will see the water splash up in a burst of millions of lights like fireworks from undersea. As you move through the water you glow like a diving angel, and when you resurface, thousands of sparkling lights remain on you, if only for a brief moment, as if you were part of the magic. This natural wonder is still around for your enjoyment. Do not miss a trip to the biobay
