Playa La Chiva

Vieques National Wildlife Refuge and all visitor facilities is closed due to impacts from Hurricane Irma. Refuge closures include all hiking trails, boat ramps, fishing access, and other recreational use on refuge lands. The closure remains in effect until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service assesses storm damage and has determined it is safe for visitor access.

So calm and secluded, very beautiful. The water is very shallow, and you can swim to another small island on the coast!

Survival Beach

Reviewed By 3SCs - Fort Worth, United States

My trip to Survival Beach reminds me of the adage, “there are no shortcuts to any place worth going.” This adventure is well worth the effort getting there. The narrow pathway from the parking area to the beach may be physically challenging for many visitors to navigate the natural obstacles along the way. It’s filled with deep tree roots, eroded areas, overgrowth, rocky outcrops and slippery slopes. At the end of the trail, however, rests a picturesque and an expansive beach with breathtaking views dotted with large boulders and cavernous rock overhangs. Though the surf is rough, there are several nearshore areas that are placid, shallow and safe for playing and sunbathing. Based on my experience, which included several senior citizens in my group, the hike took approximately 30-40 minutes. Actual times will be dependent on the physical ability of each individual. Keep in mind, access to the beach is a hike. It’s more demanding than a walk or stroll. My comments are not intended to discourage visitors, but to prepare them for the rigors they will encounter and to dress appropriately, including most importantly footwear. The natural beauty of the area offers many photo opportunities. If you enjoy adventure and don’t mind hiking, this destination will likely resonate with you. Remember, plan accordingly.

We had a lovely walk along this beach! Sat down for a bit and just watched the surfers catching as many waves as they could.

Not a lot of people know about this beach. Just a 15 to 20 minutes walk from Seven Seas Beach, you will discover one of the most unique beaches in the area. You maybe the only person at this beach. Do not disturbe the turtle nest!

Playa Escondida

Reviewed By KWelker - San Antonio, United States

30 minute hike to the left through the jungle. Water much more treacherous to swim in than Seven Seas which is reef protected. But, it looks more like the Atlantic Ocean than what you see at Seven Seas. The beach is secluded and beautiful.

Hector was an amazing guide. He took us on a wonderful excursion of a coral reef that was easily reached from the beach. After seeing a ton of wildlife on the reef, he allowed us to use his equipment to try to see sea turtles in another area. Highly recommended!

Jobos Beach

This beach on the northwest coast offers an interesting combination of mild waters, perfect for families with children, and rough water perfect for surfers, plus opportunities for fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving, wind surfing and canoeing.

Reviewed By biggiesmools - Madison, United States

Great beach for hanging out. There's lots of food choices nearby and soon they are opening brand new bathroom and concession facilities. Beach itself is nice because there's a relatively protected area where you aren't subjected to the bigger waves or if you are after more adventure you can get that too. **Make sure to wear water shoes** there are lots of sea urchins on the rocks.

Combate beach is one of the best 5 beaches in all of P.R. The clear and calm waters make it an ideal place to relax. The west coast has Playa Sucia, Combate beach and Buye beach that make a fantastic trio.
