Margarita Island is well known by windsurfers for its prime conditions. The wind is consistent, the water is warm, and the temperature is usually high. The conditions are so suitable that professional competitions are held near the island every year. Unlike many islands that are plagued by sharks, Margarita Island is not, which means that you can feel safe getting into the water. There are many companies that provide the equipment and instruction required to spend a day wind surfing. If you can't find one on your own, you can trust the hotel concierge to set up the activity for you and your guests.
