The coastal park encompasses 32,090 hectares of mangroves, coral reefs, white sand beaches, and crystalline waters along the Caribbean Sea.
The Venezuelan government established Morrocoy National Park on May 26, 1974, to protect the coastal ecosystems and marine biodiversity of Falcon State.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional practices in designated areas of the park while supporting conservation efforts and environmental education programs.
Visitors can access the park through the town of Tucacas, with boat services available to reach the various cays and snorkeling locations.
The park's mangrove forests serve as sanctuaries for 266 bird species, including flamingos, pelicans, and herons that nest in protected areas.
