Be sure to check these out!

Playa El Agua

This beach is the most famous and popular beach on Isla Margarita. It’s populated with over 50 restaurants, kiosks and small beach bars, while 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, and an active nightlife. 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.

Playa Parguito

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 view of the area.

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, 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.

Playa Caribe

This beach is 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!
