This beach is a perfect crescent of powdery white sand. Like a smaller version of Flamenco or Blue beach. Has a few spots for shade, warm waters that are very good for swimming in most parts. Good, not great snorkeling for little reef fish. A little rocky or pebbly in places near the reefs on far corners of beach. It's... More

Perfect crescent beach, perfect sand, pretty good snorkeling right off shore on the western end, no need to bring an umbrella as shade is available. Our fav beach overall after 6 trips to Vieques

I don't know why but, this is my most favorite beach on the island. You can go in the AM and be the only people there! The water is usually calm, sand is white and powdery, scenery is beautiful and snorkeling is wonderful. I love all the fish who gather around you while you swim. To me, it's paradise!

Perfect beach - clear water, white sand, places to find shade. Not so hard to find if you follow instructions in the guidebooks.

Tough to get to it and not really a beach to hang out on, but enjoyed beach hunting for every beach... a little windy and rough when we were there

I believe this is called Pata Prieta beach on the local maps which is located before the Blue beach in the national park. It is very small and inviting to be on with beautifully clear water and very fine sand. We were the only couple there on a week day and then two other couples came but it is large... More

the beach is a tiny little strip, but at the very end is this amazing sculpture garden visitors have been building and they are gorgeous- maybe you'll see mine when you go!!! Very quiet and calm water

Not too secret, not good for walking out into the water, but pretty. It was considered secret because it's hard to get to, but when we arrived by kayak, another group was there!

this little gem of a beach requires a good car (really rocky roads on an incline) and a small walk, but it's a great find. The water is mostly calm and there's a nice stretch that you can walk. I could have spent all day here as even with a dozen people on it, there was still a feeling of... More

Secret beach may not be a secret any longer, but it's still a beautiul beach! Arrive early and you may be alone for a while!
