Top destinations: Güirintal beach

I have spoken to you before about Güirintal Beach—located on the road between Cumaná and Carúpano in Sucre State—and I’ve mentioned that it not only boasts a wild beauty but is also completely free, making it a perfect spot to spend a peaceful, pleasant day.

Ya te he hablado anteriormente de la playa de Güirintal —situada en la carretera entre Cumaná y Carúpano, en el estado Sucre— y he mencionado que no solo posee una belleza agreste, sino que también es de acceso totalmente gratuito, lo que la convierte en un lugar perfecto para pasar un día tranquilo y agradable.

Located just 10 minutes from the El Peñón toll station in Cumaná, this beach is a hidden gem; being less well-known than others in the area, it offers a true sanctuary for those seeking more private, uncrowded shores that nonetheless boast the same beauty as the state's other beaches.


Situada a solo 10 minutos del peaje de El Peñón, en Cumaná, esta playa es una joya oculta; al ser menos conocida que otras de la zona, ofrece un verdadero refugio para quienes buscan orillas más privadas y tranquilas, que no obstante poseen la misma belleza que las demás playas del estado.

You can get there not only by private vehicle but also by public transport; although it is not right next to the road, you simply need to look for the various crossings or paths leading down to it that are marked on the main road.


Se puede llegar no solo en vehículo particular, sino también en transporte público; aunque no se encuentra justo al borde de la carretera, basta con buscar los diversos cruces o senderos señalizados en la vía principal que conducen hasta allí.

Some of the characteristics of this beach—and most others in the area—are its shallow depth, intense blue color, and very warm water. It is also very calm during the early hours of the day, though the waves become stronger as the afternoon approaches.


Algunas de las características de esta playa —y de la mayoría de las demás de la zona— son su poca profundidad, su intenso color azul y sus aguas muy cálidas. También se mantiene muy tranquila durante las primeras horas del día, aunque el oleaje se intensifica a medida que avanza la tarde.

From there, it is natural to see the silhouette of the opposite shore—like a ghost in the distance—and, if you are lucky, you can watch the many birds that come to perch on the branches, the rocks, and even the piers scattered along the beach.


Desde allí, es natural divisar la silueta de la otra costa —como un fantasma en la lejanía— y, si tienes suerte, puedes observar las numerosas aves que acuden a posarse en las ramas, las rocas e incluso los muelles dispersos a lo largo de la playa.

One section of the beach features vacation homes that sometimes serve as guesthouses or venues for parties and events. Most of these houses remain closed on weekdays, opening their doors only on weekends when they are rented out. Perhaps this is why there are fewer tourists; they may assume the properties are private or simply prefer beaches with more public and direct access.


En una zona de la playa hay casas vacacionales que a veces funcionan como casas de alquiler o espacios para fiestas y eventos. La mayoría de estas casas permanecen cerradas entre semana y solo abren sus puertas los fines de semana, cuando se alquilan. Quizás por eso hay menos turistas; es posible que asuman que las propiedades son privadas o que simplemente prefieran playas con un acceso más público y directo.

We recently attended a party where the host paid $100 to rent the house for the entire day. Rental prices vary depending on the home's general condition, the number of bedrooms, and whether or not it has a pool. These types of houses are ideal because they can be rented by the day or for a full weekend. The idea is to bring your own food and drinks to prepare, as everything else—such as kitchen utensils, bed linens, a refrigerator, a grill, a stove, etc.—is already provided at the house.


Hace poco asistimos a una fiesta en la que el anfitrión pagó 100 dólares por alquilar la casa durante todo el día. Los precios de alquiler varían según el estado general de la vivienda, el número de habitaciones y si cuenta o no con piscina. Este tipo de casas es ideal, ya que se pueden alquilar por día o por un fin de semana completo. La idea es llevar la propia comida y bebida para preparar, pues todo lo demás —como utensilios de cocina, ropa de cama, refrigerador, parrilla, cocina, etc.— ya se encuentra en la casa.

Personally, I like unspoiled, uncrowded, and little-known beaches—places where you can feel at ease, without worrying about others invading your space, making a racket, or constantly pestering you to buy things. You can simply sit and watch the sea in peace, go for a swim, or just stay still and reflect on the beauty of life and how lucky we are.


Personalmente, me gustan las playas vírgenes, poco concurridas y poco conocidas: lugares donde puedes sentirte a gusto, sin preocuparte de que otros invadan tu espacio, hagan ruido o te molesten constantemente para que compres cosas. Simplemente puedes sentarte a contemplar el mar en paz, darte un baño o quedarte quieto y reflexionar sobre la belleza de la vida y la suerte que tenemos.

Ultimately, there are places that do not appear on a country’s tourist maps—places that are little known and, consequently, rarely visited—yet they do exist. Their beauty is a living painting, the kind that takes your breath away and fills your chest with a comforting sensation, as if a seed of peace were beginning to grow within you. Gúirintal is one of those places.


Al fin y al cabo, existen lugares que no figuran en los mapas turísticos de un país —sitios poco conocidos y, por ende, raramente visitados—, pero que aun así existen. Su belleza es una pintura viva, de esas que te dejan sin aliento y te llenan el pecho de una sensación reconfortante, como si una semilla de paz comenzara a germinar en tu interior. Gúirintal es uno de esos lugares.
