Navio is fairly small with excellent waves and non-existant crowds. We saw a couple other people come and go, but we usually had the beach to ourselves. There are no man-made structures of any kind, and the beach is framed by rocky peninsulas on both ends. The access road is certainly terrible, but it is the perfect carribean beach (unless... More

This beach is a bit wilder than the others and worth the ride out there. Be prepared, you will go very slowly and feel like you are testing the suspension on your Jeep!

Navio was beautiful! The ride out is quite a bumpy one but well worth it! Great waves and gorgeous grottos.

The beach is nice, I liked the little bit of wave action we had but the ride in is a total bummer. Not worth it.

This was a great change from the calmer beaches. A bit bumpy to get to but this beach was lots of fun!

The waves are great. Don't get nervous about the road - if you have 4wd you will be fine. The rocky cliffs are beautiful! It was well worth the drive. Oh by the way, there are signs directing you straight to the beach.

You will not be dissapointed by this beach. The views on this beach are breathtaking, and some of the quirks are very cool. To get to the beach you first need a 4x4 vehichle. Road in some spots are tough to get through, rocky and mud holes, and you are driving through dirt roadways in the jungle. There is a... More

Playa Navio is one of the most beautiful beaches in Vieques. It's a typical Caribbean postcard: fine white sand, Turquoise water, coconut trees. rough sea, not good for swimming. Rough dirt road, you need a jeep to get there, or park your car in Playa Media Luna and walk to Playa Navio.

Navio is awesome!!! It was my favorite because it has this awesome little cave you can swim into, and the waves are just high enough that you can really enjoy bouncing around in them but not so scary you cannot swim. Nice quiet calm beach, great soft sand
