It was a nice walk to Media Luna Beach from the Malecon/ Beach front in Esperanza. We packed a lunch/drinks and had a nice walk through Sun Bay, to Media Luna. Saw only about 6 people, calm waters. Very cool.And on the walk we saw a mongoose!Bring water, bring bug spray, bring a towel!

The dirt road is hideous, but you are rewarded by one of the most beautiful near-circular bays I've ever seen. The water is calm and extremely shallow. A great place to take small children. Uncrowded but not isolated.

Shallow for a long way out, lots of shade , soft white sand and peaceful. Perfect for young families. There are maby places to hang a hammock.

Very nice beach. Very scenic, swimmable ocean, lots of shelter from the sun, and popular with the locals. Not as secluded and quiet as some beaches (at least not at the time of our visit) but it is well worth the visit and not too difficult to get to IF you don't mind driving about 2 miles down a very bumpy road. I tried snorkeling here but due to the weather conditions at the time (windy / cold front coming in) the visibility was not good and I did not see much of anything.

The water is shallow, you can walk and walk! Great for kids. Tons of seaweed by the shore made this not one of my favorites.

Nice beach. Very secluded. Quiet. But a very hard drive -- the "road" is potholed dirt. It takes 15 minutes to go the 2-3 kilometers.

Water was like a smooth gentle lake. Go out as far as you like, it doesn't get more than 4 feet deep. More than ample tree shade, no need for an umbrella. Need a Jedep to get there.

Never have I experienced such fine grained white sand. Shallow and clear, the water was perfect for young kids. Bring an umbrella if you need shade as there isn't much there.

Media Luna is not a Miami Beach scene. It's quiet, very natural and a sort of local atmosphere. I really enjoy it.

Do not go to Puerto Rico without taking the Ferry over to Vieques and going to Media Luna Beach. Beautiful white sand in a circular bay area where you can walk out 500 feet into waste deep water and be surrounded by coral blue water and small fish. Make sure you rent a Jeep or a Scooter because it is impossible to get back to the beach with a normal car and the Taxis will not go back in the area. Expect to see few people on one of the most beautiful places on earth

Part of the Sun Bay complex just keep driving to find little beach that is perfect if you are not comfortable with waves. An horseshoe shaped beach protected from the elements provides many shady spots for easy access to quiet often calm waters . Shallow but deep enough to let people try out their snorkel gear.

If you drive on the roads (there's several dirt roads that line the bay) passed Sun Bay (going east), you'll get to Media Luna. Our rental company alerted us to the possibility of the road being rough, but it wasn't bad. It was dry on the island though. Media Luna is similar to some of the beaches in the reserve, but is far less-traveled. My wife and I really enjoyed it because it has a large stretch of white sand beach and crystal water and an area where you can get close to the rocks to find sea life. Depending on the tide, you can walk to an area near the rocks and see a bunch of different fish just standing (puffer, urchins, etc). You can also swim further out where it's deeper and see a lot more variety. Another couple said a sting ray frequents the area, but we didn't see him.

It's not easy to access on the rutted and sandy roads, but it's worth it! Shallow waters that are warm after the sunsets, soft sand, and not many people!

we were the only people on this beach and it was incredible. you can see all the way around the little cove and you feel like you just stumbled into heaven.

Our first beach visited and one of the favorites - secluded, calm water, snorkeling and tanning - all the best
