Cayo Pescadores is a boat-access cayo in Morrocoy, usually reached from Tucacas or Chichiriviche. Its reef sits behind a coral barrier, which keeps the water calmer than more exposed stretches and makes it a good choice for relaxed scuba or snorkel outings. The site is known for clear water, shallow reef structure, and fish-rich coral patches. Bring your own supplies, because on-site services are limited.

Safety Notes
Plan for a boat-only entry, keep an eye on the reef edge where current can move, and bring everything you need because services on the cayo are limited.
Access Restrictions
Boat-only access from the Morrocoy mainland launch points; no shore entry.
Legal Notes
Follow Morrocoy National Park rules and any seasonal access limits that apply to the cays.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided boat dive that stays on the sheltered reef and checks the current.
