Venezuela is one of the Caribbean countries blessed with paradisiacal coasts and islands, on top of warm weather that makes them enjoyable almost all year round. Our crystal-clear waters and white-sand beaches are the perfect natural scenery for travelers in quest of romance, pleasure or adventure.

Because of their dream beaches, direct flights and custom-made tourism packages, both Los Roques Archipelago and Margarita Island are the most popular destinations among visitors. There are, however, other destinations in the eastern and western oceanfront that are just as fascinating as these two. These alternative destinations can only be reached by sea and include, in the eastern part of our country, islands such as Los Testigos, La Blanquilla, the Mochima National Park and the La Tortuga National Park. Similarly, in the western part, visitors can bask in the beauty of the Las Aves Island and the Morrocoy National Park (famous for its white-sand keys).

There are a number of tour packages that offer trips to Los Roques Archipelago, La Tortuga Island, Los Testigos Islands, etc. in sailboats and catamarans departing from the Gran Roque Island, La Guaira, Higuerote or Margarita Island. These plans include all beverages and food, and various activities such as snorkeling, diving, fishing, and water skiing. These plans also offer several alternatives, such as the ability to choose among several destinations and whether or not to spend the night at a different place each time, to rent boats for couples (without a crew), to combine your stay by spending some nights at one of the inns on the mainland and spending other nights on the sailboats.

Nonetheless, if you wish to enjoy a fascinating beach on the mainland, Venezuela gives you several choices, such as the beaches located in the Paria Peninsula in eastern Venezuela, including the Medina Beach (famous for its calm waters and the large number of coconut trees), Pui-Pui (with exuberant vegetation and ecological cabins), Río Caribe and Playa de Uva Beach, located between a rain forest and warm continental waters. Another interesting choice for both local and international visitors is the Morrocoy National Park, located in Falcón state. Indeed, Morrocoy’s white-sand keys and waters of different shades seduce their visitors not only to sunbathe, but also to dive and snorkel, since the park holds a marvelous coralline ecosystem within, abundant in all kinds of underwater riches.
