Green BeachIsla de Vieques, Puerto RicoAnother beautiful Caribbean beach with tropical bliss. Popular for boaters and those seeking privacy and good snorkeling. Family friendly for it's shallow, calm and clear waters.Green Beach is located on the north west of the island. Punta Arenas Beach is on the north west tip, offering a very scenic view of the main island of Puerto Rico, El Yunque and very popular for boaters. Beautiful on a cloudy day
Driving to Green Beach is half the fun. The flora along the dirt road that leads to Green Beach is lush and very "Green". Drive through lush tropical foliage, tall and leaning palm trees that give you a break from the sun before you arrive to Green Beach and Punta Arenas. If you are seeking to visit a place that has a less traveled feeling, then Vieques is for you.
Getting to Green Beach: To get there, take Route 111. On the way there, make sure you make a short stop by the Old Ceiba Tree and Mosquito Pier with a spectacular scenic view of the coast and lush green flora of the island. After a small tour of the mentioned, turn around and head west again, on your left there is an entrance to "The Bunkers" which is a must see attraction. If you keep going all the way, you will head up to Monte Pirata, the highest peak on the island. If you go all the way, you will have to drive all the way back, so my advise is head to the beach early and after a relaxing and fun time at Green Beach / Punta Arenas, drive by the Bunkers. Pass through the Yellow NWRS gate towards Laguna Kiani, scenic lagoon with mangroves and birds. On your way you will pass through a kiosk with information of the area and it's natural treasures.
One of the paths will take you right by an old track that now rests on the sand by the beach. If you don't believe in global warming, you certainly will after seeing how the sea level has risen in Isla de Vieques.
If you want a little fun adventure, go on a treasure hunt for the tracks that are now under water. Schools of colorful tropical fish have claimed it as part as their playground. Our son had tons of fun snorkeling that area. HINT: The scene below is the entrance to the spot. Claim this "parking spot" all to yourself and go find it.
