Venezuela has about 2817 kilometers of Caribbean coastline plus
87 islands in the Caribbean. The coastline begins in the Paria
Peninsula. Located in the east, this is where Christopher
Columbus discovered the area during his third voyage in 1498.
Truly surprised by the lush vegetation and the beauty of the
coast, Columbus called the area the Garden of Eden. The Paria
Peninsula later became. The Central Coast is tropical, with high
mountains, rain forests and secluded towns. The Eastern Coast is
semi-tropical, with few mountains, an abundance of palm beaches
and semiarid islands. The Western Coast is also semi-tropical
but flat. You can enjoy the world’s best year-round bill fishing
near Caracas. Other beach-related activities such as kite, wind
and body surfing, ultra-lights, wave runners, parasailing and
sailing are also available at many spots. Don't forget,
Venezuela is out of the hurricane season! Nature lovers will be
glad to know that some major Venezuelan national parks are
located along the Caribbean
