Note: This page container previously: Juangriego, La Galera, Caribe Beach, Parguito Beach and El Agua Beach that, although there are in the north of the island, they now have their own pages.

The Isla Bonita Hotel and the Golf courses

The North of Margarita is a less habited area and also more peaceful than Porlamar, but it has a beautiful coast, with excellent hotels and fishing towns.

Punta Manzanillo

Punta Manzanillo Beach

We’ll start our tour in the northest point of the Island of Margarita: Punta Manzanillo. It’s a fishermen port that also has a nice beach, pretty quiet.

Guayacán

Guayacán Beach

Guayacan is not very known by tourists that visit Margarita. It has a relative quiet beach and there is a lot of fishing activity. We wish you could enjoy the coming of the fishermen with their fishing nets that make the birds fly away and content the families of the fishermen.

Isla Bonita Hotel

One of the best 5 star hotel of the Island : The Hesperia Isla Bonita, is located near Pedro Gonzales, right next to Puerto Viejo Beach. It has a spectacular construction and the only golf courts of Margarita. Puerto Cruz Beach is also right next to it, where one of the best known resorts of the Island: Dunes, is to be found.

These beaches have the characteristic that they can be seen with panoramic view from the road and from a lighthouse you can get to from Zaragoza beach.

Walk on the edge of the beach

The town Pedro Gonzales has access to two different beaches: Puerto Cruz(described above) and Zaragoza Beach. This last one is a quiet beach, in a nice place with shade and restaurant service. There is a fine parking lot nearby. All this makes Zaragoza, a very interesting and good option.
