A nice beach, but best part was Richards bake n Shark. Don't bother with the others as Richards is by far the best. About …£3 per person gets you a wonderful TRINIDAD speciality.

When my best Trini friend drove me to Maracas Bay and I first saw it, my eyes filled with tears at the beauty of Trinidad's most famous beach. Parrots, cobos and a very interesting variety of food outlets -the best food must be Shark and Bake with not too much pepper sauce!

The beach is beautiful and one of the nicest in Trinidad. If you're visiting you must enjoy the local cusine "Shark an Bake" while at the beach.

The road to Maracas Beach is always scenic because it has been carved out of the mountain, to such an extent, that in the rainy season, there are occasional landslips.

Last Sunday, I visited Maracas bay and I enjoyed swimming in the very calm waters. I also has some very delicious salmon and chips from Mom's which is the vendor next to the famous Richard's bake and shark stall.

The first place returning Trinidadians wish to visit is Maracas to relive their childhood memories and...

I live on this beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago and Maracas Bay is one of my favourite beaches which I visit a couple of times per year. U can sun bathe, play with the kids on the sand and ride the waves. A must visit if you're a visitor.

We visited using Trinidad's route taxi system for just T&T10 each - Route Taxis for Maracas and beyond leave from George St close to the corner with Prince St.
The drive through the mountains was very scenic, although it was cloudy the day we visited so I can only imagine what it would have been like on a sunny day....
