Beautiful ecological park on the west side of Vieques. Horses are all over the island but here, private beaches intermingle with a beautiful lagoon. The lagoon has a partially finished boardwalk that used to wind through the mangroves. However, with the destruction that occurred during Maria, the original walk was destroyed as were the mangroves. Today it looks sort of post apocalyptic but beautiful in its own respect.

Wonderful excursion. Best tour guide Jose. Had plenty of time to snorkel and explore. The sea life was scarce and water not as clear this day, but an adventure for sure.
