When to come to Vieques?
If you are looking for a beach to lie on and warm waters to swim in, Vieques is an ideal year-round destination. The tourist seasons on Vieques are more influenced by the weather in North America than they are by the weather on the island. High season is usually considered to be Thanksgiving to Easter – which is when Americans from the North come down to escape the winter. Low season is then the rest of the year May-October. During the “low” season there is another small peak in July and August when many Puerto Ricans come to the island on holiday. What ever the season, weekends tend to be much busier on Vieques. Vieques is a popular weekend away destination for many Puerto Ricans who come over from the big island. Little roadside stalls and bars spring up on the sea front and around the entrance to Sun Bay (the nearest large beach) – selling Bar-B-Q pork and chicken, and local liquid refreshments.
