Esperanza is the second settlement in Vieques, primarily a residential area facing the beautiful Caribbean Sea. The little town of Esperanza is a favorite hang out place for visitors.
Most restaurants are located at El Malecon, a seafront beautiful charming location with views of Monte Pirata, blue tone clear waters, offshore cays, colorful fisherman boats and at the end of the day…. warm amber sunsets. After dinner many visitors hang out until it’s time to head for a booked Bioluminescent Bay Tour, the highlight of the night on the island.
The small town of Esperanza is also the home to fisherman and where many boaters anchor to grab a nice lunch or dinner at sunset. Esperanza is a tourist area offering a nice selection of restaurants ranging from an all American burger, a steak house and traditional Puerto Rican food which we highly recommend you try during your stay. Visit the small but interesting museum by the Vieques Conservation & Historical Trust, there are a few shopping stores, water sports businesses and Bioluminescent Bay tours leave from Esperanza at night.
If you are not renting a car during your stay, then we recommend you pick accommodations in the town of Esperanza. You can walk to restaurants, catch a Bio Bay Tour, have easy access to publicos and walk to great beaches on the south side such as Sun Bay Beach, and on the “Strip”, you can enjoy the beach of Esperanza. If the tide is slow you can take a nice beach walk west which will lead you all the way to Playa Grande, the beaches down this stretch are not the best for bathing but it makes a very interesting scenic beach walk.
