Most of the land in Vieques is under the Fish and Wildlife Administration, making Vieques tha largest national refuge in the Caribbean. Horses are allowed to roam freely, and you’ll see plenty of them around the island.

�e crystal clear waters, the white sandy beaches and the secluded bays of Vieques are very famous. Also Vieques has the brightest bioluminescent bay in the world.

Vieques has many landmarks and places of interest that you can visit, like the Fortín Conde de Mirasol, tha last forti�cation built by the Spaniards in the New World and the lighthouses, Faro de Puerto Ferro and Faro Punta Mulas, built in 1896.

In Vieques there are no tra�c lights, just narrow roads leading to breathtaking places. Is one of the last destinations that truly remains like the Caribbean of the past.

�e Bio Bay is located in Mosquito Bay and is considered the brightest bioluminescent bay in Puerto Rico and in the world.

�e luminescence in the bay is caused by a micro-organism, Pyrodinium bahamense, a dino�agellate, which glows whenever the water is disturbed, leaving a trail of neon blue light in the water.

A combination of factors creates the necessary conditions for bioluminescence: red mangrove trees surround the water, the lack of modern development around the bay and a small channel to the ocean keeps the dino�agellates in the bay.
