2. ENJOY VIEQUES

"Vieques Island is located 7 miles east of Puerto Rico and is a long skinny island, populated in the middle part only. The rest of Vieques is devoted to the many reserves of US Fish & Wildlife and the DRNA. These reserves dominate 2/3 of Vieques Island and consist mainly of dry forest and beaches. Many people enjoy the beautiful, isolated beaches. The population of Vieques is around 10,000. The principal economy is based on tourism and fishing. There is no traffic light but there are many horses (wild ones that will roam the beaches). You will need a rental jeep to enjoy this island fully."
