Playa Medina

Playa Medina is touted as being one of Venezuela's best beaches and is one of the highlights of the Península de Paria. This crescent shapes beach is backed by an old coconut plantation. There are some inconspicuous cabanas at the far end of the beach but there is very little else in the immediate area. There are usually locals here selling fried foods and pastries. A small town lies a few kilometers back from the beach and offers some rustic accommodation. There are also other, more upscale options, scattered throughout the area.
