Playa El Yaque, Windsurfing beach in Margarita Island, Venezuela.
The beach extends along the southern coast of Margarita Island with clear waters and steady trade winds reaching speeds between 15 to 30 knots.
The transformation of this coastal area into an international water sports destination began in the 1980s when European windsurfers discovered its favorable conditions.
Local restaurants near the beach serve traditional Venezuelan dishes including fresh seafood caught by fishermen from the neighboring communities.
The shallow waters extend hundreds of meters from the shore with a flat sandy bottom, allowing beginners to practice windsurfing in safe conditions.
The beach maintains water temperatures between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius throughout the year, supporting extended periods of water sports activities.
