Playa Punta Arenas, Sandy beach in Nueva Esparta, Venezuela.
White sand beach stretches for 1.5 kilometers along the southwestern tip of Margarita Island, with clear waters near the shoreline and scattered palm trees.
The beach settlement developed around traditional fishing communities who established their wooden huts along the coastline during the early 20th century.
Local fishermen maintain their daily routines at Punta Arenas, bringing fresh catches to the beachfront restaurants that prepare regional Venezuelan seafood dishes.
Visitors can rent umbrellas and beach chairs from local vendors, and multiple restaurants offer beach service with facilities including parking, toilets, and showers.
The triangular point formation of the beach creates two distinct sides: a populated southern area with services and a more remote northern section.
