Description

It snuggles against the northern South American Continent thereby escaping hurricanes and variations in weather and enjoying consistently warm temperatures.The island is recognized throughout the world for excellent windsurfing as the wind never stops blowing. Oceanic beaches such as El Agua, Parguito, and Guacuco, are home to many resorts, restaurants, and nightclubs as well as incredible waves. Margarita Island emerges out of the warm water in the Caribbean Sea, with beautiful beaches, mountains, valleys and deserts. It has an average annual temperature of 85 F. Together with Coche and Cubagua Islands, it forms the State of Nueva Esparta. This group of islands have a similar geological construction and are located at 45 miles from the north-east coast of Venezuela.
