Maracas Bay Beach

Beach · Trinidad, Trinidad and Tobago

Trinidad's best-loved beach sits in a deep palm-fringed bay on the north coast, about 40 minutes over the Northern Range from Port of Spain via a scenic mountain road with lookout stops. Lively waves, lifeguards, washrooms and shaded picnic spots make it an easy family day out. The row of vendors behind the sand is the traditional home of bake and shark, the fried-shark sandwich locals pile high with toppings and sauces.
