Islas Los Roques (11°50'N., 66°43'W.), a group of many cays on an extensive and dangerous coral reef, lies 22 miles W of La Orchilla. The cays are all low and do not exceed heights of 7m, except El Roque, on the N extremity of the reef. This latter cay rises to a height of 116m at its W end. Scrub covers the cays, and is taller in the E and S parts of the group. Lights are shown from El Roque, about 1 mile ESE of its W extremity; from the SE point of Cayo Grande, the SE island of the group; and from the W extremity (11°50'N., 66°57'W.) of the W cay of the group.
