Where is Margarita Island? It is located just off the northern coast of Venezuela, a short flight from Caracas. There are actually three islands - Margarita, Coche, and Cubagua, with Margarita being the largest and most populous of the three. Along it's beaches are to be found some of the best windsurfing in the world. The scenery is made up of picturesque fishing villages and beautiful Colonial neighborhoods.Original source: escapeartist.com. Beaches of Margarita Island Tags: human interest •
