Los Roques · Venezuela
The short version, from the cited sources
Cayo de Agua, at the western edge of Venezuela's Los Roques archipelago national park, is the postcard of the Caribbean's largest marine park: a sandbar bridge of white coral sand crossing between islets through knee-deep turquoise water. The archipelago's protection since 1972 has kept its reefs and bonefish flats in rare condition, and access remains by small plane and boat, keeping numbers low. The sandbar crossing is the image that stands for the whole park.
