Editorial Assessment

Playa Punta Arenas is a charming and beautiful location, known for its relaxing beaches and cultural significance. While it's a delightful place to visit for those seeking a blend of natural and cultural experiences, its more traditional beach setting doesn't feature the unique geological formations or ecological elements that would place it among the top-ranked iconic natural landmarks.

Excelente playa de la isla de margarita. Buen lugar para compartir en familia. La playa es muy tranquila, no tiene un oleaje muy fuerte.

I recommend asking the locals how to get exactly to the sand point (hence the name). We used Google Maps GPS and of course we arrived but not exactly where we wanted since there is a section where the car must pass through the sand and the GPS tells you how far the road goes. Even so, the beach is beautiful, the service good and the food delicious, we had lunch at Arminda2.0. (Offers shower, wifi. Awning rental). Before the red moon the beach is cold, otherwise warm.

I loved it, I was on the side where there are waves but they are not rolling waves and it is super flat, divine and the water is not cold... And I also went to the side where it is like a swimming pool, no waves, beautiful... And there is divine food at the Donde Orangel restaurant.

The site that you should not miss. Punta Arenas is worth the long trip to the western end of the Island. Preferably arrive in the afternoon so you can watch its spectacular sunset. If you go on a weekday you will practically have the beach to yourself. The waves are almost non-existent and it is one of the warmest waters in Margarita. The restaurant "Donde Orangel" has awnings, chairs and tasty food, and when it closes, they allow you to stay there and their dogs become faithful guardian friends. The town is very picturesque, full of fishermen, very quiet and peaceful, like something out of an oil painting. If you didn't go to Punta Arenas, you weren't in Margarita.
