COCHE ISLAND
If you are visiting Margarita you dare not leave until you’ve travelled
over to Coche. Located 10 minutes south of Margarita, this is an
incredible little island just 11km long and 6km wide yet it is a wonderful
place to spend an entire day of your vacation.
Take a boat from El Yaque Beach and head there for a day of fun:
On Coche’s west coast, the weather and wind condition is usually great
making it easy for you to practice your windsurfing and kiteboarding
skills.
You can head to El Amor Beach (Love Beach) where the surroundings
are perfect for a romantic interlude.
Take an ATV ride and tour Coche’s mini canyon.
Snorkel, fish, surf, sunbathe, relax - whatever’s your pleasure.
YAQUE BEACH
Delicious empanadas that can be filled with meat, chicken, cheese,
dogfish and even beans is one of the many things that makes a visit to
Yaque Beach worth your while. But, this is also one of the best beaches
in the world and perfect for kite and windsurfing. Located about three
kilometers from the airport, it is a popular watersport venue. The water
is calm and not very deep so families find it safe to relax here with their
children.
