    Sun Bay Beach is a breathtaking half-moon-shaped beach lined with palm trees, featuring calm turquoise waters and a peaceful atmosphere. As Vieques' most accessible beach, it also offers public facilities, making it the perfect place to unwind and experience one of the island's most scenic beaches.
