Playa Parguito,
Margarita Island or Isla Margarita, Venezuela
The entrance to this tropical surfing beach is located about 2½ km (about 1½ miles) south towards Porlamar from Playa El Agua. Playa Parguito has a different feel than Playa El Agua in that the beach width is narrower. In the corner where most of the activity is located the waves get large enough to attract the surfers of Margarita Island.
There are a number of restaurants offering their services during daylight hours including the renting of chairs and umbrellas. We took these photos at 10 AM on a Monday which is a very slow time. Don't be fooled! Next to Playa El Agua, this is one of the favorite meeting places on weekends and national holidays for the Venezuelans. Due to the width of the beach it can get a little congested on weekends.
