Virgin beach located on the northern coast of the Aragua state! With the particularity that it is close to the Henry Pitier National Park, it is bathed by the waters of the Caribbean Sea, it is ideal for surfing, to get there you have to drive through the coastal mountain range, it is advisable to bring your provisions, since the nearest grocery stores are very far away, there are no places to sleep, you have to bring a tent, one of the nicest beaches in the area.
