Playa El Agua

Playa El Agua is an extended sandy beach on the northern coast of Margarita Island with light-colored sand and palm trees lining the waterfront. The water remains shallow and calm with gentle waves, making it accessible for swimmers of all abilities.

The beach transformed from a small fishing settlement during the mid-20th century into a major destination for tourism. This shift established it as one of the most visited coastal sites in the Nueva Esparta region.

Local residents and visitors gather here for swimming, sunbathing, and socializing throughout the day and into the evening. The beach is a place where people from different areas come to enjoy the warm water and relax together.

The beachfront area has kiosks offering sun chair and umbrella rentals along with shower facilities and fresh water access. Restaurants and bars are positioned directly along the shore, making it convenient to grab food and drinks while enjoying the beach.

Street vendors move along the sand selling traditional goods like fabrics, hats, sunglasses, drinks, oysters, and ice cream to beachgoers. These mobile sellers are a constant part of the daily beach experience.
