Sun Bay (Sombé) Beach
Balneario Sun Bay
A crescent-shaped public beach about 1.6 km long on Vieques' south coast, lined with palm trees, where wild horses often wander the sand.
Sun Bay, also known as Sombé Beach, lies about 2 km east of the town of Esperanza. It is Vieques' largest and best-equipped public beach, with lifeguards, showers, picnic areas, and a campground. The water is calm and good for swimming, and in the late afternoon you can often see the island's semi-wild horses coming down to the sand. Nearby are the smaller, quieter Media Luna (shallow water, good for kids) and Navío Beach. Parking at the entrance costs about $5 (check on site). It's very close to Mosquito Bay, and many bioluminescent bay night tours depart from this area.
