| Being an island, it is surrounded by beaches, and there is one for every taste. You can find a beach with or without waves, large or small, crowded or not, deep or not, cold or warm, windy or not, just select what you want, and you've got it. Margarita is a great place to go around. Castles, churches, nature. Everything is close and going from one place to another is usually a nice trip. |

One of Margarita's best attractions is, with no doubt, the Lagoon of La Restinga National Park. You ride in a boat through the mangroves and reach a very long beach. Do not miss there the opportunity to have fish or seafood for lunch under a
hut. It's Margarita's Far west. With very low population, but with places and isolated beaches that are worth the trip. Going from one place to another is also very nice. In Margarita you can enjoy all water sports. |
