Guacuco

Margarita Island, Venezuela
🌀Strong rips

Guacuco is a fast, fun beach break on Margarita Island's northeast coast, just around the headland from Parguito. The exposed position means it picks up anything the Atlantic sends and has been known to handle hurricane swell. Less crowded than its neighbour, it offers a solid alternative with consistent, punchy waves.
