The Point
The Point is the most consistent surf spot in the Los Roques archipelago, picking up swell that other breaks in the chain miss. A coral reef setup that works through all tides and on smaller swells, it's the go-to wave for visiting surfers who make the flight from Caracas. The setting—crystalline Caribbean water over pristine coral—is hard to beat anywhere.
