Isla Margarita, Coche & Cubagua

If you hear people talk about Isla Margarita they generally mean El Yaque, which has earned a reputation amongst European snowbirds as a perfect training venue for its wind consistency, shallow flat water and Caribbean charm. Whereas its peers attracted the evils of construction then suffered decline in classic a boom and bust cycle, El Yaque has kept it real. Yet even though the windsport scene is concentrated in El Yaque, a trip to Margarita can offer so much more: the two sister islands of Coche and Cubagua are close enough for day-trips by boat, and the choice across 165km of coastline is broader than you might think.
