Playa de El Tunal

Playa de El Tunal is a beach along the eastern coast of Macanao Peninsula with white sandy shores and clear waters. Native coastal vegetation lines the edges of this seaside area.

The beach has served as a traditional fishing spot since early settlements, with local fishermen launching boats from here daily for generations. This role remains important to the community today.

Local vendors prepare and serve traditional Venezuelan coastal dishes, with fresh fish being the main ingredient prepared according to regional recipes.

The beach has basic facilities including restrooms and parking areas with clear signage from the main roads in Nueva Esparta. Finding your way here is straightforward once you follow the local roads.

The beach sits at an elevation of 22 meters (72 feet) above sea level, creating viewing angles you will not find at other beaches in the region. This height difference makes the coastline look distinctly different from many nearby spots.
