Crasqui
Crasqui is one of the sandy, uninhabited cays of the Los Roques Archipelago National Park used as a day-trip kite base out of Gran Roque. Riders access it and neighbouring cays by boat and kite in the lagoon inside the reef; there are no facilities on the cay itself, so trips are typically organised with a boat operator based on Gran Roque.
