Vieques in Fodor’s Travel Guide

Fodor writes:  “VIEQUES AND CULEBRA…Though both islands, tiny paradises off the east coast of Puerto Rico, have triumphed over the US Navy by halting bombing drills that were compromising the environment, the current threat involves overdevelopment. Since the W Retreat and Spa-Vieques Island moved in during 2010, other properties have been eyeing both islands. Locals worry Puerto Rico’s dismal economics will trump their efforts to maintain the islands “unspoiled” charms. Respect the islands’ natural calm and enjoy environmentally-friendly activities like kayaking in the bioluminescent bay off Vieques, or snorkeling off Playa Carlos Rosario in Culebra for views of a fabulous coral reef.”
