Isla de Plata

Isla de Plata is a small Caribbean island within Mochima National Park, featuring white sand beaches fringed with coconut palms. The island offers swimming areas and recreational facilities that attract visitors seeking beach time and water activities.

The island served as a reported base for pirates during colonial times who operated across the Caribbean. This period shaped the region's history and made the location strategically important for maritime activities.

The island's name comes from silvery reflections that sunlight creates on the Caribbean water at different times of day. These light displays become especially noticeable as you walk along the beaches and look across the water.

The island is reachable only by boat from Guanta, and you should check boat schedules before planning your visit. If you want to camp, you need permission from the national park authorities.

The island has a water park with recreational activities that blend natural beaches with modern facilities. This combination of nature and recreation makes it appealing to different kinds of visitors.
