Vieques

Vieques is a small island located off the east coast of Puerto Rico. Known for its pristine beaches, lush forests, and vibrant wildlife, it is a popular destination for tourism and outdoor activities. Historically, the U.S. Navy used parts of Vieques for military training and testing, which caused environmental and health concerns among residents. In recent years, the Navy ceased operations there, and the island is now focused on ecological preservation, tourism, and local community development. Vieques offers a mix of natural beauty, history, and cultural richness, making it a unique and tranquil getaway.
