Islands, Puerto Rico
Vieques and Culebra are among Puerto Rico most visited locales. Sandy beaches and low prices are the powerful attractions of both islands.
Vieques, which has more tourist facilities than Culebra, lies 7 miles (11km) off the eastern coast of the Puerto Rican "mainland." Visited mainly for its 40 white-sand beaches, Vieques is fast becoming one of the hottest tropical destinations in the Caribbean.
Culebra, 18 miles (29km) east of the Puerto Rican "mainland" and 4 miles (23km) west of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, is urrounded by coral reefs and edged with nearly deserted, powdery, white-sand beaches. Much of the island has been designated a wildlife refuge.
