Playa Galera beach

Playa Galera Margarita islandPlaya Galera is found at a small bay right after Juangriego bay. You will find the beach after passing by the fort ruins of Fortin de La Galera and continuing north. This beach offers shade huts, Jet Ski rentals, and restaurants.

Playa Galera beach is about 1200 meters long. The beach is not very wide, but the waters are especially calm at this bay, and therefore very suitable for children. Playa Galera beach is also a good place to watch the sunset (as also is the Juangriego beach or bay). The beach is lined with restaurants where you can observe the beauties of the evening sun.

Unfortunately, the beach is not necessarily safe for swimming. In 2009, the environmental minitry of Nueva Esparta labeled Galera beach as not suitable for swimming due to contamination. You see a list of beaches labeled as suitable for swimming here..
