Playa El Agua

Four kilometres of sand, coconut palms and every service on the island.

Best time
Afternoon
Area
North coast
Duration
3–8 h

The most famous beach on Margarita and the one on every postcard: a very long strip of pale sand backed by a line of coconut palms, with restaurants the whole way along. It has surf, so it is not the calmest for small children, but it is where you find everything without moving: chair, umbrella, lunch, coconut shake and a massage.
