Green Beach, Isla de Vieques

3.6
#8 of 12 in Beaches in Isla de Vieques
Beach · Hidden Gem · Nature / Park
Coast over a reef and undersea cliffs when you snorkel in the calm waters along Green Beach. This small beach has a short sandy stretch with palm trees lining the back of it. Right off the beach you'll find a reef, some short cliffs, and some man-made items that the marine life has adapted to, each of these makes for good snorkeling sites. Be careful entering the water, as small red urchins sit on the rocks and can pierce flippers. Also be sure to apply sunscreen and bug spray before going to the beach--many travelers complain of sand fleas. Before you head to Isla de Vieques, plan trip itinerary details with our user-friendly Isla de Vieques online trip itinerary maker, to make sure you see all that Isla de Vieques has to offer, including Green Beach.

    Nice spot. Not the best swiming beach but I thought it was the best beach we visited for snorkeling. Lots of rocky spots so make sure you bring water shoes.  more »
