Cayo Alemán (Alemán Cay, lit. German Cay) is a small island located in the Caribbean Sea, administratively part of the Falcón state in Venezuela. It is geographically integrated into the Morrocoy National Park. The cay is almost entirely covered by dense tropical vegetation. It has a surface area of approximately 59 hectares (150 acres) and a perimeter of 4.85 kilometers (3.01 mi), with a maximum elevation of 6 meters (20 ft) above sea level.
Characteristics
The island is characterized by its quiet waters and two distinct coastlines, displaying deep blue and bright green water tones respectively. Its coastline and seabed are composed of a mixture of sand and rocks.
The most prominent beach area is located on an isthmus in the northwestern part of the cay. Due to its relatively low profile compared to other keys in the national park, it remains less crowded and is less known even among local tourists.
