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.
