Isabel Segunda Attractions
The oldest settlement on the island of Vieques, Isabel Segunda (founded 1843) is home to almost half of the island's residents. Visitors will find accommodation in Isabel Segunda, although the choices are somewhat limited. There are also restaurants and some interesting sights around town.
The waterfront area of Isabel Segunda is very attractive with stores and homes overlooking the ocean. An old colonial fort and a lighthouse are two of the town's main attractions.
Isabel Segunda is where the ferry from Fajardo docks. Upon arrival of the ferry there is always a flurry of activity, making the town seem busier than it actually is.

Conde de Marisol Fort
The small Colonial, Conde de Marisol Fort is perched on a hill above the town of Isabel Segunda. It was never completed, but it was the last Spanish fort built in the Americas. The structure dates to around the 1840s. Conde de Marisol Fort now houses a museum of the island's 4,000-year-old Indian history, as well as the history of the colonial and navy presence.
Conde de Marisol Fort is probably not worth a special trip to see but is worth a visit for anyone interested in the island's history.
