When you get to the town of Choroni, ask the posada to hire a "piragua", a boat to take you to Uricao beach. It's a 20 minutes ride alongside the coast before reaching this wonderful beach, with the intense green of the forest behind, a nice strip of sand and the blue waters of the caribbean just for you. Be sure to ask the boat driver to pick up before 4 pm, before the tide gets too high. Need to take everything, from umbrella to snacks and drinks, as there are no services on the beach. All of this can be supplied by the lodge (posada) you are likely to be in.

If you want to spend your holidays peacefully without tourist rush around you, than this small city is the right destination for you, because beach is great. Maybe the sand is not the whitest, but waves are playful! Feel free to take your hammock, because there are palm trees where you can hide from the sun and enjoy the swing. Locals are friendly, at least thats what we felt, because we don't speak Spanish. Therefore I am writing this review, because just realised that nobody gave their opinion in English. Also, we didn't meet any foreigners there, only local tourists. Remember to have enough of cash, as exchange is pretty expensive there!
There are some fish restaurants right next to the beach. We rented an ice box from our hotel and had our own drinks for the whole day.
If you are looking for a crazy nightlife, than this beach/city is not for you, but if you travel with a family and kids, looking for some "island of peace" for few days, than thats the place.

El Árbol de los Muertos – Chuao
27 DE FEBRERO DEL 2017
El Árbol de los Muertos (también conocido como árbol de las almas) se ubica cercano al pueblo de Chuao. Existe una extensión de terreno de parcelas donde se dice habitaba una tribu indígena (Los Caribes) a la cual se les atribuye la defensa del territorio desde mucho antes de la llegada de los españoles.
Cuenta la leyenda que al parecer en estas tierras se desato una guerra muy intensa y esta tribu logro salir victoriosa manteniendo sus territorios y resistiéndose a la colonización. Posteriormente se dice que ya cuando Venezuela fue fundada, los caribes aun se mantenían allí soportando ataques, violaciones y enfermedades traídas por los conquistadores y esclavos negros.
Una vez que fundaron el pueblo de Chuao se sembraron varios jabillos, uno de ellos en lo que ahora es conocido como “el pueblo quemao”. se puede observar el jabillo al cual se le da el nombre de el “árbol de los muertos”, pudiendo distinguirse entre su tallo y ramas: manos, brazos, piernas y caras con expresiones de dolor y sufrimiento que cualquiera diría que se trago mediante sus raíces las almas de los aborígenes que habitaban en “el pueblo quemao” y desde hay sus habitantes comentan que cada persona de su pueblo que muere su alma va y toma reposo en este gran árbol.

Very neat beach. Highly recommend. It isn't that far from the capital and the journey there wasn't rough. The workers there are nice and attentive.
