The best beaches on Margarita run along the North and East cape like a string of pearls. There are at least 50 unique & magnificent beaches occupying 106 miles of the coastline. Playa El Agua, Caracola, Playa Parguito and Playa Caribe are the pick of the island’s beaches, with palm trees and turquoise waters. Isla Margaritas’ beaches are not over-crowded, even at peak season, so those of you who prefer a more isolated and private beach will not have to look too far.

Caracola Beach (Caracola is a Conch shell indigenous to Isla Margarita) is a long straight golden sandy beach which attracts runners, cyclists and people on horse back. The Caracola Beach and Spa Resort will be the best and last truly front line development on the beach itself.

Playa El Yaque is located in the south of Isla Margarita. In the windy waters outside Playa El Yaque there are always plenty of ‘sails’. It has become a mecca for windsurfing, and now is one of the world’s greatest spots, with steady side shore winds of 25 knots plus. Because of its’ windy conditions, Playa El Yaque also has become a very popular kite-surfing destination in the last few years. Here you will find a place that probably boasts the most consistently warm and windy days in the world.
