Playa Araya
Warm amber sand meets the Caribbean where fishing boats tilt on their sides at low tide. The scent of drying nets mingles with salt air as pelicans skim the waterline, and behind you, the peninsula's arid hills shimmer in the heat.

As with any beach, exercise normal caution by monitoring children, staying aware of local conditions, and avoiding swimming during rough weather. The area is relatively quiet and welcoming to families. Always check current conditions with locals or your accommodation, as weather patterns and sea conditions can vary seasonally along Venezuela's Caribbean coast.
When is the best time to visit Playa Araya?
