Playa Negra Beach — photo spot in 3GX5+FM9 Playa Negra Trail, PR-997, Vieques, 00765, Puerto Rico
Playa Negra Beach
Playa Negra is a striking black-sand beach on Vieques framed by rugged volcanic rock, turquoise surf and sparse vegetation — ideal for dramatic contrast shots, long exposures of waves, and intimate textures of sand and rock. Accessible via a short trail from PR-997 with limited parking and no facilities; bring water and sun protection. Best light: sunrise for soft side-light and fewer people, golden hour for warm highlights on rock; avoid strong midday sun and heed local surf/current warnings.
