Directions

Playa Esperanza

Playa Esperanza sits along Vieques' southern waterfront, backed by a strip of restaurants and hotels that make it a gathering spot for both islanders and visitors. A boat slipway along the shore points to its use for launching small craft alongside swimming, and parking is available near the beach. It lies within easy reach of Sun Bay Beach and Black Sand Beach, making it easy to combine with a wider day of beach-hopping on the island.
