Vieques, Puerto Rico

(vee-AI-kais)

Vieques is known as “La Isla Nena” (little girl island) and
“Isabel Segunda” (Isabel II). Vieques was founded in 1843 by
Francisco Saínz.

It’s 21 miles (34 km) long and 3 miles (5 km) wide, and it is 52 square
miles (135 square km) in area. It was annexed to Puerto Rico in 1854. Vieques
derives its name from the Taino Indian word for small island (bieques).

Faro de Punta Mulas, Vieques

The island is located between Puerto Rico and St. Thomas (USVI), and
is separated from the southeast coast of Puerto Rico by approximately 8
miles of sea, although if you are taking a ferry from Fajardo the
distance will be 18 miles. Numerous other small cays (islets) lie
offshore of Vieques.

Beauty and history merge on this 21 by 4 mile island. Arawak Indians once
lived here and it was an infamous heaven for pirates during the 17th
century. Various European powers fought for control of Vieques.
The Punta Mulas Lighthouse also known as Morropó was built in
1893. This old lighthouse still protects the port, boasts a reflector
imported from Paris in 1895, which extends a beam that can be seen from as far
as 16 miles.

Vieques is famous for its amazing beaches and there is a lot of them, ranging from pure white to soft black.

Playa La Plata (Silver Beach) is among the most popular beaches in the island and named
accordingly because of its bright white sand.

Located on the southern side of Vieques, you’ll find Playa Negra (Black Beach) also named for its dark
sand, a byproduct of sedimentary rocks and volcanic rocks.

Snorkeling is excellent around the island of Vieques, especially at Playa Chiva (Blue Beach),
ranked among the best beaches in the Caribbean various years on Trip Advisor’s Traveler’s Choice Awards.

Other beaches include: Playa Caracas (Red Beach), Pata Prieta (Secret Beach), Playa Escondida, Playa Grande (Big Beach),
Playa Sun Bay, Playa Esperanza, Playa Media Luna, Playa Punta Arenas, Playa Cofi, and Playa Navío.

The island is also home of one of Puerto Rico’s three bioluminescent bays. The Mosquito Bay (bioluminescent
bay) was officially declared the brightest recorded in the world by Guinness Book of World Records 2008, recognized as a
National Natural Landmark since 1980, and considered the best example of a bioluminescent bay in the United States.

This rare and remarkable phenomenon is caused by millions of luminescent dinoflagellates
lighting up when disturbed by movement, leaving a trail of neon blue. The dinoflagellates, a
tiny form of marine life, have characteristics of both plants and animals, their size range
from about 5 to 2,000 micrometers (0. 0002 to 0.08 inch). The water glows when the microorganisms in it are agitated.

Trips leave every night from the bar at Casa Del Frances (Island Adventures, Inc., 787-741-0717 or 787-741-3751).

The other two bioluminescent bays are
Laguna Grande in the north-east in Fajardo and
La Parguera in the south-west in Lajas.

During the 1940s, the U.S. Navy purchased 70% (27,000 of the island’s 33,000 acres) of the land
area of Vieques including farms and sugar plantations and forced thousands of Viequenses from their
homes for artillery storage and for the training of U.S., NATO, South American and CARICOM allied forces.

Target practice with live ammunition and war games began in the 1970s and continued for the fo
llowing decades. Vieques became a site of perpetual military training involving munitions that
delivered doses of napalm, lead, depleted uranium and a cocktail of other contaminants.

In March, 1999, a civilian guard David Sanes was killed and four others wounded by a bomb
dropped by a F-18 US fighter plane 1

After pressure from the people of Vieques, the U.S. Navy left the island of Vieques in
Puerto Rico on May, 2003. As a result, Vieques has inherited a legacy of toxic pollution.
In May of 1999, the U.S. Navy admitted that it had tested radioactive depleted uranium
shells in the island. Many in the island blame the high cancer rate (26 percent over
Puerto Rico’s average) on the Navy’s pollution.

Isabel Segunda port, holds the distinction of being
the last fort built by the Spaniards in the New World.

There is an excellent historical museum at the beautifully restored
fort, El Fortin Conde de Mirasol, located in Isabel Segunda. This fort holds
the distinction of being the last fort constructed during the Spanish Empire
in the New World, over time also served as a jail.
After it’s careful restoration in 1991 by the Institute of Puerto Rican
Culture, the fort serves as the island’s main museum, housing the
Vieques Museum of Art and History and the Vieques Historic Archives.
The museum contains the Vieques Historic Archives, which includes thousands
of documents and other materials related to Vieques’ history. Open Wed-Sun
10am – 4pm, weekdays by appointment, free admission (donations are
encouraged), (787) 741-1717.

Camping is
permitted at Sun Bay with a free permit. Cars are available for rent through
most hotels.

Economy

This small island produces sugar cane (principal crop), coconuts,
grains, sweet potatoes, avocados, bananas, and papayas.

Transportation

To get to the island, you can either take a small plane from San Juan
International Airport (20-30 minute flight), or a ferry boat from Ceiba.
