Vieques, is an island–municipality of Puerto Rico that lies 8 miles (13 km) East of the Puerto Rican mainland, in the Northeastern Caribbean. It is part of an island grouping sometimes known as the Spanish Virgin Islands and retains strong influences from more than 500 years of Spanish presence in the island.
It also has the nickname "Isla Nena", usually translated from the Spanish as "Little Girl Island", alluding to its perception as Puerto Rico's little sister. Actually is a U.S. territory.
Today, the former U.S. Navy land is a National Wildlife Refuge, with numerous beaches that still retain the names given by the Navy, including Red Beach, Blue Beach, Green Beach and others. The beaches are commonly listed among the top beaches in the Caribbean for their azure-colored waters and white sands.
