Madrizqui & Cayo Pirata Islands Madrizqui and Cayo Pirata Islands which are joined by a sand bar, are the closest cays to Grand Roque, the main island - just about 15 minutes by boat. Small lagoons are created by a reef to the north of the islands which are great for snorkeling. From November until April, visitors will be thrilled to see lobster-filled ponds around the islands and every Thursday can witness the lobsters being weighed and sold. Fresh seafood, readily available for the grill!
