Isla Larga, Caribbean island in Carabobo, Venezuela

Isla Larga extends over 54 hectares with a length of 1855 meters in the San Esteban National Park along the Venezuelan coast.

The German cargo ship Sesostris sank near the island in 1940, creating an artificial reef that now supports marine life.

The island operates under special administration by San Esteban National Park, allowing regulated public access while maintaining environmental conservation protocols.

Visitors reach the island through boat services departing from Quizandal beach near Puerto Cabello, with vessels carrying up to 40 passengers per trip.

Two sunken vessels near the island have transformed into artificial reefs, hosting coral formations and numerous marine species at depths reaching 25 meters.
