Playa de Pampatar beach

Playa de Pampatar is a popular city beach in the south-east of Margarita island, Venezuela. Deep bay protects both from strong waves, as well as from algae. In the west end, there is a good beach with sunbeds and cafes. On the other hand, there are many boats in the east. The place is slightly crowded. But still it is quiet enough and cozy. However, sometimes jet skis are passing by, thus making some noise. Anyway, this is a great spot with palms and comfortable swimming. Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
