Paradoxically, - an island Coche, which lies just eight kilometers in the direction of the continent from the island of Margarita and included in the same separate State Venezuela - Nueva Esparta, quite similar to the Margarita.
This is perfectly flat and bare island, where more then 20 years of public ago, salt was mined, as of today indicates the mountain of hardened salt falling across the island. The climate of the Margherita is not naturally different. Islet inhabited - at last count there resides the order of 10 000. Normal road, airport, taking light aircraft and helicopters, port, where ferries arrive from Margarita and other vessels supplying the island of groceries and other necessary things.

western part of the island is a long (eight miles - ten) lagoon with white sand and azure water. Constant breeze, blowing from the shore and the perfectly smooth water - have made this beach is popular worldwide among kite surfers. Here say flat ideal in combination with a flat, stable wind.
Just this lagoon and became a place of our pilgrimage. Here - in this part of the island are three hotels 3 and 4 stars. Best hotel - it is certainly Punta Blanca. Big and green areas, a huge swimming pool with access to white sand beaches. Excellent food all-inclusive, well, a chic bar with all sorts of delicious and "useful" drinks.

cost of daily living in this hotel - from 550 Bolivars per person (Slightly less than $ 70). Accommodation in bungalows built in the Caribbean style, quite spacious and comfortable.
Our goal is not the first and the now traditional travel - "droop" in the all-inclusive hotel. Drink cocktails, pokisnut in the pool and chat with friends in a relaxed atmosphere. By this, there is created all conditions. We drove by 9 people. In fifteen minutes, the boat curb two 130 horsepower engine domchala us from the pier El Yaque to Coche. I must say that the local Captains do not spare engines. Throttle to the floor, and to the destination but have never throttle back, we both said - got the breeze .... The island greeted us as usual - White sand and cutting her eyes - blue sea.

addition to the hotel where we stayed - on Coche there is Hotel Coche Paradise and Brisas del Mar. And if Coche Paradise Hotel is also no budget (600 bolivars person), here's Brisas del Mar - a great hotel, with beautiful spacious bungalows, nice kitchen and budget accommodation from $ 20 per person. His only minus - it's not on the sea (300 meters inside the island), but the kiter who come here are very fond of riding this particular hotel.
amazing feeling haunts me every time I get on Coche - as if I come to the mainland on a small island somewhere in the middle of the ocean .... I do not know what it is connected, can with some sort of rural lifestyle of the island Coche, may be the lack of fuss, cars and crowds of people in comparison with the boiling Margarita with constant car traffic and crowds). In the general sense of arrival from the capital into the wilderness .. Probably why I liked least once a month to travel to this island where you can truly relax and enjoy your holiday.
