We spent time walking around, trying different foods, and just enjoying the scenery. The alcapurrias and other fritters were delicious, and there were plenty of places to stop for a snack or drink along the way. It can get crowded on weekends and parking takes some patience, but that's part of the experience. If you're looking for a place that feels authentic, laid-back, and full of Puerto Rican culture, Piñones is definitely worth a visit.

We grabbed a taxi van and he ended up serving as a tour guide to us, which he was happy to do. He took us to a few different places with pleasure. At the last stop he had picked up his son and drove us around with no problem. I really loved he was so personable. In Vieques you see horses all around, which was so beautiful; we really enjoyed that. We went to two beaches. We loved the second one, which was Playa Caracas. The sand was so white, and soft. The water waves were calm and warm. We had so much fun and made some friends while in the water. We ended up trading up drinks. If you go to Vieques and need transportation contact Yo-Yo's Taxi US DOT 3914032. Phone number 787-585-9560, he is the best of the best.

From Black Sand Beach to Coconut Beach, you have to go thru the main road from the beach shore is not connected. From Esperanza to Sun Bay is connected and is an amazing walk towards the end of Sun Bay. From the End of Sun Bay you could walk towards Media Luna Beach trail and from there walk towards Navío Beach trail. The road is way better now, many golf cars would be able to go there if isn't raining. The Vieques National Fish and Wildlife is open from Monday to Friday from 3 PM to 6:30 PM. Other attractions you might like to visit is Ceiba Tree, Mosquito Pier, Light houses, Los Chivos street View, you get to see both side the north and the south of the island from the middle of the island.

Everything you can imagine and more. They sell the ubiquitous jewelry and even bottles of rum to take home. Plus, they have a daiquiri station in the back. The wife had a banana daiquiri and loved it! I was driving and had no alcohol. The drink had a kick and was worth the $11.95 for 8 oz. The woman/cashier was totally rude and not friendly, but even her bad attitude could not detract from the daiquiri and the spectacular views of Megan beach and islands. If you are in the area this place is totally worth the drive. You can do all your shopping in one place.

La Mina requires quite a trek down and back up, while La Coca is right off the main road. You can stop and take photos of La Coca from afar, or hike up to it and get sprayed by the refreshing mists of the falls. La Coca is much more powerful a waterfall than La Mina also, and many people hike right up the side of the falls and right up to the face of it. You can't get all the way into the falls, but you also don't have to hike down the "challenging" trail that La Mina requires, and then hike back up (double as hard!) Both falls have their benefits and drawbacks, but overall I definitely preferred La Coca.

It's helpful at e beginning of a trip to get the layout, or a bit in to have a bird's eye view of some of the places you've been. There are about 15 parking spaces and I've seen the lot get too filled with your buses to get into, or to want to get into, during the busy part of the day. But outside peak hours, you can pretty much have the spot to yourself. It's a very quick drive from Drake's seat, which provides a similar overlook on the other side of the island, basically on the same ridge looking down to the north. There's no charge. There are some doors that might be restrooms, but they aren't open all the time, so I'm not sure, and as far as I saw there were no services available.

A few vendors post hurricanes still set up shop when cruise ships are in so you may be able to buy cheap Island souvenirs up here if you're visiting and they also sell alcohol ( but it depends on which vendor is there). The parking situation sucks, but if you come closer to sunset the cruise ship passengers will all be back on their ships leaving the area empty.
