Snorkeling beside Mosquito pier was an awesome experience. If you go to the pier, hit up the beach to the left of it instead of driving up onto the pier road. There is a little parking area and you just walk down onto the beach. The beach itself isn't something to marvel at. Walk in toward the rocks and get past the sea grass. Just snorkel as far down the rocks toward the pier as you want! It mostly stays the same depth. We went almost all the way to the pier and we were told that if we would have kept going, there are sea turtles that eat around the pier. Now I wish we would have done that. Here are some pictures we took with the GoPros! Enjoy!
Video I took of the Starfish!
This fish is hard to see...Look in the center.
The camouflage on this fish is phenomenal! I found this guy and he was about 3 feet long...Not sure what kind of fish this is???
Red Snapper...Brad wished he had his spear gun during this snorkel trip, because further down the
pier, the bigger these guys got!

Look right below the surface of the water in the center of the picture. I called it a needle fish but not sure of the actual name...
Barracuda ...These fish are probably my favorite fish to get pictures of.
Honestly, this was one of the BEST excursions we have ever had. The owner, captain, and operator of Little Boat Sailing is Jorge. He has the most amazing travel stories and he was so knowledgeable about the reef, the fish, and his community. He made our tour what we wanted, and not something that he does for everyone. We told him what we hoped to see and he made that happen. He knew that snorkeling was our main focus so we went to Lemon Reef. There was some discussion as to the actual name so we decided it should be name "Jorge Reef". Getting there was part of the fun since it was on a gorgeous Hobie! The ocean water was spraying on us, the breeze was perfect, and the sun and temperature were just right! After about an hour and a half of snorkeling, we went into the mangroves. Jorge jumped out and got a starfish and did some teaching with us. Jorge had waters and protein available for us after snorkeling...I feel like we burnt off a ton of calories! We were famished!!! The best thing about this excursion is that it was one on one, we were there with only our two friends Curt and Lorrie, and we got to morph the tour into what we wanted it to be. There are a ton of pictures, but the do not truly show how amazing this tour is until you just go to Vieques and experience it for yourself. Some of the pictures were taken by Jorge and some were with our GoPros! Enjoy!
