Playa Caracas, Sand beach in Vieques Island, Puerto Rico.
The beach extends along a sheltered horseshoe bay with white coral sand and clear turquoise waters bordered by rocky cliffs and tropical vegetation.
Previously designated as Red Beach during the U.S. Navy occupation of Vieques Island, the beach later returned to its original name, Playa Caracas.
Local families gather at Playa Caracas on Sundays for beach volleyball matches and social picnics under the shade of palm trees.
Visitors can access the beach through Route 997 in the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge, where gazebos and picnic tables provide shelter from the sun.
The eastern section of the beach contains numerous healthy sea fans and marine life, creating excellent conditions for snorkeling adventures.
