It's common amongst locals from Caracas to visit during daytime and return at noon, due to the proximity of the capital to these beaches. Los Roques are located 128km away from the port of La Guaira, Caracas. The most famous beach is the Cayo de Agua. This beach is currently one of the national parks found in the archipelago.

Cabo San Juan, Colombia
