Vieques... A Real undiscovered treasure

(USA)
Just got back from Vieques and LOVED the island!
Traveled all over the Caribbean and this is the first real "undiscovered" treasure we've found. Pristine beaches, wonderful English speaking people and a remoteness you can't find in other destinations in the Caribbean.
Favorite beach? This is hard- I guess the calm sand of Playa Caracas and Red beach. But check out as many as you can in the time you have.
You must go to Bellybuttons and have a good cup of coffee and mango pancakes- you'll think you've died! Don't forget lobster at Tradewinds, a really good cheeseburger at Banana's and a cold drink, wonderful delivered pizza & a sunset at Al's Mar Azul.
Not much is made out of the scuba diving in Vieques but it must be noted that the Misquito Pier is a fantastic shore dive and should be advertisied more. Lots of turtles, stingrays and tons of fish all a couple feet off shore!
Was this your first time in Vieques?: Yes
Would you visit again?: Yes
Any negative experiences on the island?: None! Except not enough time!
