Where to go in Los Roques
Despite its small size, Noronky offers paradise-seekers a great deal to be pleased about. The white, sandy beach generally remains low-key and uncrowded thanks to its distance from Gran Roque. The lack of crowds allows the marine life to remain abundant, so if you bring your snorkeling gear, you can come face-to-face with countless tropical fish. If you’re lucky, you may even spot sea turtles gliding by. Take your own refreshments, as the area offers few food options.
Francisky
Spend a day in the water at the beaches of Francisky. White sandy expanses outline the shores of the island, where shallow waters make this attraction appropriate for families with children. Take a boat to one of the many dive spots and view the island from below the water. You’ll find restaurants on the island so you can plan for meals.
Crasky
Lounge on the exotic Crasky, situated on the island of Grand Roque and offering smooth white sand and crystal clear water. Swim and snorkel among the coral, starfish, rays, and other colorful fish species, or soak up some sun on the milky white sands. You can indulge in fresh seafood in the rustic beachfront restaurant, explore the nooks and crannies of the island, or try to spot sea turtles, pelicans, and large seashells.
Cayo de Agua
Located in the south-western zone of the archipelago, two islets very well connected by a sand corridor, in a territory totally immersed in nature, completely surrounded by crystal clear waters.It is no coincidence that is among the 20 most beautiful beaches in the world.
Dos Mosquises
Also known as The Turtle hatching island, there is a park station and an archaeological whereabouts as well as a magnificent beach are all there.
The island features a landing strip, labs, accommodations, and turtle breeding tanks showcasing three species. On a trail that goes from the breeding area to the east coast of the island there is a place built with Botuto shells (Queen Conch) where turtles become acclimatized before they are freed.
