Maracas Bay Is As Close To Perfect As A Beach Can Get: Suzy Strutner, HuffingtonPost, Travel. “Crescent-curved bay. Swaying palms. White sand and gentle waves. If there were such thing as a perfect beach, Maracas Bay would be it.

The beach’s tall, towering palm trees — set against dramatic rainforest cliffs — make this Trinidad’s most popular strip of sand. The waves are prime for paddling, but diving, surfing and hiking are right at your fingertips, too.
For the truly adventurous, there’s also one of the world’s most famous sandwich shops: Richard’s Bake and Shark.

Shark or no shark, Maracas Bay is a stellar place to relax.”.
