Blanquilla Island, Caribbean island in Federal Dependencies, Venezuela.
The limestone island extends over 64 square kilometers with white sand beaches, clear waters, and coral reefs along its entire coastline.
The island formed through geological processes along the Aves Ridge, which created a chain of elevated landmasses in the southeastern Caribbean Sea.
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices in the waters surrounding the island, exchanging fresh catches with visitors for basic supplies.
Access to the island requires chartering boats from nearby locations, as there are no permanent settlements, airports, or regular transportation services.
The waters contain black coral formations used in regional jewelry making, while feral donkeys and goats roam freely across the terrain.
