My Visit to Maigualida Beach (Eng/Esp)
English version
Once again, I decided to embark on an adventure to visit a beach I’d never been to before, so I headed out with my family to Maigualida Beach, located via Marigüitar. This new tourist destination offered beautiful scenery and, of course, unforgettable experiences.


Leaving from Cumana, and on a smooth ride, Playa Maigualida is about a half-hour drive away; however, our trip took a little longer because we ran into traffic along the way. The bus was stuck for a while because a truck had veered off the road and a tow truck was pulling it out. After that incident, we continued on our way.



When we arrived at the beach resort, the beach was peaceful and the sun wasn’t yet shining intensely; the morning was cool and somewhat cloudy. The scenery was wonderful—on one side, a lush green forest contrasted beautifully with the blue of the sea. Several boats were anchored near the shore, and the opposite coast was faintly visible; it was raining in the Gulf of Cariaco.
But everything changed in an instant: the sun pushed the clouds aside and shone with full intensity; beachgoers began to arrive, and by mid-morning, the beach was bustling with activity.



A group of young people playing volleyball was the main attraction; nearby, recreational activities for children were set up around a trampoline, where little Alma was jumping. A Sound Car van provided music for the entire beach; everyone was having a great time because there were activities for everyone.


As for me, when I went to have breakfast, I found a surprise: there was a crab in my bag. I’d set it down on the sand, in the shade of a coconut tree, and it turned out that the crustacean had crawled inside looking for food. It wasn’t the only animal that took a liking to me on this expedition; there was another one that later chased me along the beach and had me running for quite a while, waving my arms around in all directions.

Nuevamente decidí lanzarme a la aventura de visitar una playa donde no había estado antes, así que junto a mi familia me fui para Playa Maigualida, ubicada vía Marigüitar. Este nuevo destino turístico me ofreció hermosos paisajes y por supuesto experiencias inolvidables.


Partiendo desde Cumaná, y en un recorrido sin tropiezos, Playa Maigualida queda aproximadamente a media hora de camino, sin embargo, nuestra travesía duró un poco más porque encontramos tráfico en el camino. El autobús permaneció inmóvil durante un rato debido a que un camión se había salido del camino y una grúa lo estaba rescatando. Luego de tal incidente proseguimos el rumbo.



Cuando llegamos al balneario, la playa estaba serena y aún el sol no calentaba con intensidad, la mañana estaba fría y algo nublada. El paisaje era maravilloso, de un lado se apreciaba un bosque muy verde que combinaba con el azul del mar. Varios botes permanecían anclados en la orilla, la otra costa se divisaba tímidamente, estaba lloviendo en el golfo de Cariaco.
Pero todo cambió en instantes, el sol apartó las nubes y encendió al máximo su incandescencia, los bañistas comenzaron a llegar y a media mañana se podía observar bastante vida en la playa.



Un grupo de jóvenes practicando vóleibol era la atracción, a un lado se organizaron actividades recreativas para niños en torno a un trampolín, donde se puso a saltar la pequeña Alma. Una camioneta de Sound Car puso la nota musical en toda la playa, todo era alegría porque había distracciones para cada público.


Por mi parte, cuando fui a desayunar me encontré con una sorpresa, tenía un cangrejo en el bolso, lo había puesto sobre la arena, bajo la sombra de un cocotero, y resulta que aquel crustáceo se metió a buscar comida. No fue el único animal que se antojó de mí en esta expedición, hubo otro que más tarde me persiguió por la playa y me hizo correr un buen rato dando manotazos por todos lados.
