Esperanza, Vieques, PR

Since it was early season, really pre-season, there were only 2 restaurants open in Esperanza. Neither of which served breakfast on the days we were there. However the hotel folks suggested we go to the bakery a couple of blocks away.

Our hotel. It only had about 14 rooms. There was a deck on the roof which provided a good view of the bay. You could purchase some groceries as well as beer and hard liquor.

This is Sun beach. It is about 1000 yards or more long. This picture only shows about 1/3 of the beach. There is more to the left. There were only 7 people on the beach when the four of us were there

This picture shows the town pier as well as the clarity of the water. It was just beautiful

These next two pictures show the town boardwalk. There is no access to the ocean. I think a hurricane may have reshaped the shore line.

The lighthouse as we depart Vieques. It seemed a common practice for the small boat captians to swim to shore after they put their craft on a mooring.
