Mochima National Park, National park in Sucre and Anzoátegui, Venezuela
The park encompasses 94,935 hectares of marine and terrestrial territory, featuring white sand beaches, coral reefs, bays, cliffs, and numerous islands.
The Venezuelan government established Mochima National Park on December 19, 1973, protecting both marine and land environments in the eastern region.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in designated areas of the park, supplying fresh seafood to nearby communities of Barcelona and Cumaná.
Visitors can access the park through multiple boat terminals in Puerto La Cruz, Guanta, Lechería, and Mochima, with regular transportation to different beaches.
The park contains substantial marine territory where dolphins, herring whales, and sea turtles inhabit the warm Caribbean waters throughout the year.
