Vieques
This tiny U.S.-affiliated island paradise is as close as you’ll get to uncharted territory in the Caribbean – it only recently opened to tourism after serving for decades as a U.S. military base – and its close proximity to the East Coast (eg., it's about four hours from New York plus a short flight or ferry ride from Fajardo, Puerto Rico) makes it ideal for a long-weekend beach getaway. Known for its virtually unspoiled sands, this 21-mile-long isle six miles off the coast of Puerto Rico isn't your average Caribbean hotspot, so don't come expecting high-rise hotels, luxury complexes, or shopping centers – instead, the island caters to sophisticated, eco-minded tourists with small boutique hotels, the Caribbean’s largest wildlife refuge, and over 40 miles of pristine beach. Visit before everyone else discovers it – and be thankful for the experience.
