MARACAS BAY

Maracas Bay is Trinidad’s most iconic beach, renowned for its stunning natural beauty, vibrant local culture, and mouthwatering cuisine. Located just 45 minutes from Port of Spain along the scenic North Coast Road, the journey to Maracas offers breathtaking views of the lush Northern Range. The beach itself is a picturesque crescent of soft sand lined with swaying palm trees and embraced by rolling green hills. Its calm, blue waters make it ideal for swimming and relaxing, while lifeguards, changing facilities, and picnic areas provide added convenience. No visit to Maracas is complete without sampling the island’s legendary bake and shark—a deep-fried flatbread stuffed with seasoned shark and topped with an array of local sauces, with Richard’s Bake & Shark being the most famous stop. Whether you’re sunbathing, tasting authentic street food, or stopping at the Maracas Lookout for a panoramic photo, Maracas Bay offers an unforgettable blend of nature, culture, and flavour. Maracas Bay is approximately 29 kilometres from Traum House Lodge.
