Cayos Francisquí, Caribbean cays in Los Roques Archipelago, Venezuela.

Three coral formations, Francisquí de Abajo, Francisquí del Medio, and Francisquí de Arriba, form this group of islands with white sand beaches.

The name derives from an interpretation of the English word 'key', originally called Francis Key before its Spanish adaptation to Francisquí.

The islands belong to Francisco de Miranda Island Territory and represent a significant marine conservation area in the Venezuelan Caribbean.

Visitors access these cays through boat services departing from Gran Roque island, with trips scheduled throughout the day for various activities.

The inner bay creates a natural coral ring where numerous fish species swim openly in transparent waters, making snorkeling effortless.
