This park, which is located part in land and part in the sea (Golfo Triste), has a large number of small islands or keys like: Borracho, Pelón, Sombrero, Sal, Playuela y Peraza. Morrocoy´s beaches are excellent. But also, underneath, the corals and fishes show all their beauty to all divers.
Boca Seca
Los Juanes
To enjoy Morrocoy, you must visit the keys (cayos) in a boat. It can be a private boat or you can get a ride in a "peñero", a small boat that you can share with other passengers or that you can hire to take you and pick you up where you prefer. For a description of all the keys, please use this link: Interactive map.
