If you want to enjoy your vacation, Margarita Island (Isla de Margarita) is the place to visit. Situated in the Caribbean Sea, off the north coast of Venezuela, this tropical paradise island can offer wonderful beaches, pleasant climate and a laid-back lifestyle.

If you are looking for perfect conditions for windsurfing, scuba diving or other water sports, then you are definitely in the right place; the wind could sometimes rise so there is a reason to keep an eye on the red flag, although these occasions rarely occur. The Isla de Margarita's beaches are sparsely populated, even at peak season. So are you looking for an isolated beach, you will find it easily;Welcome to the Pearl of the Caribbean.

However, Isla de Margarita is more than gorgeous beaches and breathtaking scenery. You will also find a large selection of restaurants, to satisfy any taste and budget. And when you have finished your meal, top it off with a visit to the local markets for some duty-free shopping. A must is also to pay a visit to the La Restinga National Park.
