green beach

The beach on the western end is small and one must traverse a awful rutted sand road which is not maintained. then there are the noseeums which eat you alive. the scene through the Mangrove swamps is worth seeing if you have no motion sickness and keep the windows up. On the whole do not go.

This was our best snorkeling experience while at Vieques. It was more sheltered from the wind than the other beaches that we visited. We saw turtles and lots of fish here. The beach is not as nice as some of the more popular ones, but the snorkeling and the views of Puerto Rico make up for that. We didn't have any bug problems the day that we were there. The road was bumpy, but it was worth the trip. I'd probably avoid it after a period of heavy rain, though.

Great snorkeling out from the first cabana to the left at the end of a very bumpy road. The reef is off the baach and there is a second one beyound that. We have swum with turtles, eagel rays and hugh colorful parrots. We love to picnic here.

So, something about being in Vieques and the lure of a secluded beach with reportedly good snorkeling lead us to drive to this beach. It was a nice beach, but IMO, not as nice as some that are more accessible and less driving on bumpy roads. The beach did not have much depth to it (narrow from waters edge to the trees) and the snorkeling was not good during the time of our visit. A nice beach, not at all crowded, but not worth the drive IMO.

This was by far my favorite beach! not easy to get to! But what a treat, very small and secluded! The best Snorkeling on the island!

Very long drive over typically awful roads to get here. Narrow beach. Biggest problem: Concrete all along the shore prevents you from running into the water. You have to find the one break in the concrete and enter there. Unfortunately there was a large family taking up that whole area, so it was awkward getting into the water.

From the other reviews it sounds like you need to snorkel here to make the trip worthwhile. Seeing as how we didn't snorkel we didn't find it worth the time as the "beaches" were very small and the several miles of dirt/mud/pothole-filled road was terrible...worst that we found going to any beach on the island, and we went to all of them. Of course after being there we found that we also went at the wrong time, near dusk and after a rain, so it was mosquito and no-see-um city!If nothing else, it was an adventure that produces some laughs!

Locals love it when you call their beaches by their authentic names and not by the Navy given names....great snorkeling area, also heavy on mosquitos by 3PM...go early leave early

We saw schools of fish, and went very early in the morning around 7:30am in January - warm water and very fun. However the sand flies were terrible. As long as you stayed in the water it was fine.

Pretty much your own private beach. We went early to avoid the mosquitos, be sure to stay close to the shoreline for the best snorkeling, if you are seeing grass you have gone too far out. Park at one of the spots closest to the end of the road. Not the best beach on the island for just hanging out.

Very pretty and secluded beach on a Nature Reserve. This part of the Island was bombed by the Navy and many parts are fence off due to unexploded ordinance. However the beach has been cleared and is worth the very bumpy trip.

calm warm waters. fantastic snorkeling. we made the mistake of going on our first day & we kept comparing all of them to Green. Brace your self for the road, its a very rough ride.

Sea turtles, eagle rays, fishes. The best snorkeling on the island for seeing sea life. The beach is not extremely big, It's on the lee end of the island, so not much wind.

Get ready to drive your car as slow as you possibly can to navigate the dirt road. The best beach to get in the water without rocks and sea urchins is the first one (also the smallest), but from here you can snorkel out to the coral reef and see an amazing variety of fish and sea urchin that are larger than any I've ever seen. Very quiet area because it's so hard to reach.

We drove out just to look around and we found a great place to take pictures along the small beach. It is worth the drive out as long as you are not looking for a swim beach.
