Kitesurfing
El Yaque Beach, which is a windsurfer’s paradise, does also have a beach section designated for Kite Surfing. It is possible to rent equipment and to take Kite Surfing lessons. |
Bike Riding
Some tourists choose to bring their bike from home, as it can be difficult to rent bikes on Margarita Island. However, it is important to notice that it is extremely dangerous to move around in the insular traffic. Thus, we can only recommend riding your bike in places with very limited or no traffic, such as: Coche Island, the “La Sierra” mountain, or la Caracola Beach. The latter is closed for traffic twice a day. (Please see below).

Running and Roller Skating
The city beach, la Caracola, which is situated behind the shopping center CM in the outskirts of Porlamar, is a gathering place for fitness people. You will even find bodybuilders here in a small open-air fitness center in the middle of the beach. The best hours to practice sports on the beach boulevard, is during 6:00-9:00 a.m. and 5:00-7:00 p.m., when the air is colder and traffic on the boulevard is obstructed.
