El Yaque beach known as one of the best places in the world with ideal conditions for windsurfing and kitesurfing, this attracts fans from all over the world, especially from Europe. It has a variety of hotels, shops and restaurants near the beach, with a wide range of facilities and sports equipment. The beach is located on the south side of Margarita Island, one of the 3 that make up the Nueva E
sparta state, to the northeast of Venezuela, about three kilometers from the international airport of the island. Trade winds constantly blow from 15 to 30 knots for most of the year, and the shallow sea extends south of the beach several hundred meters, allowing windsurfers to fall to the bottom of a sand Flat. As in most of the Caribbean, the water is usually between 21 ° -27 ° C, warm enough to allow windsurfing for hours wearing only a swimsuit or bikini.

The first one you get, is the East Beach, which is one of the preferred by families with small children, for being a safe, llanita beach, without waves. At one end of the beach there is a pier from where the children like to jump and where they start the banana rides. In Playa el Yaque there are many hotels and inns and some good restaurants. There are many European tourists there, except on weekends, where many locals visit the beach, especially those with small children, as the waters are not deep And are quiet. In the Yaque there are some surf schools that also offer hotel accommodation. The only downside to staying at the Yaque could be how far it is from the rest of the island. Those who want to know more about the island should rent a car or get around by taxi. What makes Yaque an exceptional place to practice wind surfing? There are several reasons.
