Top Five Most Exciting Beaches on Isla Margarita

Beaches are very important to tourists traveling to Isla Margarita. Overall, there are around 70 unique beaches on Isla Margarita which equal out to about 168 km of coastline. Here is a list of the top five most exciting beaches on Isla Margarita.

1. Playa Caribe - This beach is about 1200 meters long and located on the north side of the island. It offers a quiet and relaxing atmosphere with quite a few good restaurants along the coastline, as well as some nice caves for exploring near the end of the beach. Facilities on this beach include food, drinks, toilets, sunshades, and beds. If you get a chance, visit the restaurant La Playya which offers quick service and a great meal.

2. Playa El Agua– This beach is the most famous and popular beach on Isla Margarita. It’s populated with around 50 restaurants, kiosks and small beach bars, and the boulevard along the beach provides visitors with shops, restaurants, and internet cafes. This beach offers many activities including several water sports, micro plane rides, concerts, nightlife and many hotels. Despite all that is going on, this beach is still big enough to give you some space on your own. However, you should be aware that there are always waves here, sometimes big, sometimes small. So if you are traveling with small children, there are other beaches which would be more suitable.

3. Playa Parguito – This beach is 900 meters long and 20 meters broad. Like Playa El Agua, this beach also has some waves, making it one of the best beaches for surfing on Isla Margarita. Jorge Hautmann (or Pakayola), runs a surf school here, and offers both surfboard rentals and surfing lessons to travelers. Here you will find some restaurants which open early and serve breakfast, while others open from noon until early evening. If you walk down to the ends of the beach you will find great lookout areas that give a nice overview of the area.

4. Playa El Yaque – This beach is one of the most famous places for kiting and wind surfing. Therefore, the beach is full of kiters and surfers all year around. Young people from all over the world gather here to surf, kite, or swim because of the shallow, warm water that extend several hundred meters from the shore. There are many hotels and restaurants on this beach making it often quite crowded.

5. Playa Manzanillo- This beach is located near the northern tip of Isla Margarita, not far from Playa El Agua. It is a small beach but never very crowded. It is 900m long and 25m wide and its quiet waters offer an ideal swimming location. Since Manzanillo is actually a small fishing village, you might see a fleet of fishing boats in the bay, or even experience fisherman drawing their nets to shore. This area also has several restaurants that will rent beach chairs and umbrellas, as well as serve food and drinks.

Spend The Day Discovering Life Underwater Off Isla Margarita

Isla Margarita, home to Caracola Beach and Spa Resort, offers some of the best Caribbean scuba diving and snorkeling locations in the area. The two most popular snorkeling and dive locations close to Isla Margarita are Los Frailes and Isla Cubagua.

Los Frailes is a group of about five small uninhabited rock islands that are ranked as the absolute best diving place around the island. Its location provides the presence of large sea nutrients, which make it a place of great biological diversity.

The main attraction at this location is the abundant and diverse underwater life. Visibility may fluctuate between 6 to 20 meters (18 to 60 feet), depending on the season and the day’s conditions. Los Frailes also offers small platforms, canyons, and smaller caves for exploring.

Isla Cubagua is one of the sister islands of Isla Margarita and is a popular location due to the wreck of a sunken ferry divers can explore. The cars of the ferry are still intact and provide an excellent photo opportunity. This location is truly recommended if guests are looking for adventure.

What also makes this location interesting is the diversity and abundance of fish. Massive schools of grunts, grouper and trumpet fish become background for more exotic species including the bannerfish, the Vieja (a sea bass species found only in South America) and lesser electric rays hiding in the sand.

The Pearls of ‘Pearl Island’

Isla Margarita, home to the future Caracola Beach and Spa Resort, received its nickname ‘Pearl Island’ after a hidden bed of pearls were found here. Today, local shops on Isla Margarita sell its pearls. These pearls are usually small, primarily pink in color, and come in unusual shapes due to the rich oyster beds they are found in.

If you visit Isla Margarita in the hopes to take one or many of these pearls back home with you many stores carry authentic pearls. According to locals the best place to find beautiful pearls is at the Casa Avila, Calle Gomez 47.
