Cayo de Agua
Cayo de Agua is the westernmost, most remote cay in the Los Roques Archipelago, prized for its white sand spit and turquoise shallows. It is a boat-trip destination rather than a base, with steady trade winds most of the year and coral to watch for around the lagoon edges; the coordinate pin used here is corroborated by the island's independently sourced Wikipedia coordinates.
