Vieques is the 33-square-mile island off Puerto Rico's east coast — formerly a US Navy bombing range, now a national wildlife refuge with Mosquito Bay (the brightest bioluminescent bay on earth). For US nomads it's frictionless: US dollar, US cellular roams without surcharge, no immigration, and a 30-minute ferry from Ceiba (cars allowed if booked ahead). For non-US nomads, regular US ESTA rules apply. Internet is genuinely slow outside the Esperanza and Isabel Segunda corridors — verify your rental's tested speed before committing to a month. Best for solo or couple stays of 1-3 months.
