As far as water sports are concerned, El Yaque beach, in Margarita, is the best for this type of beach tourism in Venezuela. It ranks fifth in the world for windsurfing and kitesurfing, so it is very popular with sportsmen, but there is no shortage of tourists either, as the view is magnificent in this place surrounded by palm trees.
Of course, we cannot fail to mention Parguito beach, a famous beach in Venezuela. It owes its name to the snapper, a typical fish of the region, which is characterized by its intense pink color. There are also several restaurants where you can taste the delicious dishes of the Margarita, such as the fish empanadas (groupers, snappers, corocoro or sardines). This gastronomy is part of the typical food of Venezuela.
Playa Grande or Choroní Beach
Choroní is a Venezuelan parish in the state of Aragua, where you can take a tour through the colonial past of this country.

Every June 24, the city prepares for the San Juan Bautista festival, which brings together nationals and foreigners, where typical dances are commonly performed.
In Choroní, there are beautiful Venezuelan beaches, but the most visited is Playa Grande. The coconut trees and strong waves prepare the place for surfing. Surfers usually camp on the beach to experience this activity more intensely.
Another of Choroní’s beaches in Venezuela is Chuao, located about 20 minutes by boat from Puerto Colombia. It is one of the beaches in Venezuela that opens up to a huge and beautiful bay. Its sand is quite dark in color, because a river flows on its eastern side. On this beach, there are hundreds of restaurants and Creole food places.
It should be noted that Chuao is also a small town, known for its dancing devils, from the beach you can walk to the town. On your way, you will pass by the cocoa plantations, which are considered one of the best in the world.
