Hotels in Playa Parguito and El Tirano, Margarita Island

Playa Parguito, in Antolín del Campo municipality at the island's north-east, is about 1 km long, faces open sea with strong waves and is used for surfing; it has fewer restaurants than neighbouring Playa El Agua. Just south, El Tirano is a fishing village whose beach is lined with peñero boats; the town takes its name from Lope de Aguirre, who landed there in 1561.

Where: Av. Costanera, El Tirano sector. Trip.com lists Playa El Tirano 200 m and Playa Puerto Fermín 550 m away; one guest says the hotel is gated and you cross the road and go down steps to reach the beach.
Suits: Families wanting a large resort with pools and food on site; recent guests praise the food and the beach (Trip.com, Jan 2025 and Jun 2026).
