Punta Brava[1] or Cayo Punta Brava[2] is an islet located in the Morrocoy National Park, in the Falcón State on the coast of the South American country of Venezuela.[3] It is the closest islet to the town of Tucacas and, at the same time, the southernmost of the entire Park. It has an approximate area of 320 hectares (including its lagoons and adjacent islets).
It is the only key (cayo) that can be reached by car due to its proximity to the mainland, which is accessed via a concrete bridge. It is the island with the largest territorial extension in Morrocoy, as well as the most crowded on weekends. It has parking services, restaurants, street vendors, and awning and chair rentals. It also features a lagoon for kayak or pedal boat rides, specifically in front of Punta Suánchez beach.
