A short trail on the eastern side of the Vieques National Wildlife Refuge leading to Pirate's Cove, a sheltered inlet on the island's south coast. The hike is brief but climbs steadily through coastal scrub typical of the area. On calm days, the cove offers excellent snorkeling conditions. The trail connects to the Novillo Trail, so watch trail markers closely to catch the correct turn.
