Toco with its National Museum, Galera Point lighthouse on the easternmost point of the island, Fishing Rock facing the Caribbean Sea. To the south of Sangre Grande, the largest city in the east of the island, you can find a 24-kilometer long line of prestine beaches. Toco Beach can be found along Trinidad’s coastal road between Toco and San Souci, and is easily reached by car. The area around the village of Toco is characterized by steep stretches of shoreline with soft white sands that slope toward lush forests and huge palm trees. The bays are small and secluded and the area’s blessed by gentle trade winds that blow throughout the year.
The pristine Manzanilla beach and Nariva swamp attract eco-tourism. Situated on Trinidad’s sparsely populated eastern coast, Manzanilla Beach has something really wonderful to offer visitors who venture to its shores. There’s a distinctly wild feel to the dark sands and the waves, and both the scenery and the wildlife are magnificent. For a beach that’s far enough from the urban centers to be unspoiled, but beautiful enough to attract a decent number of visitors, this place is everything you could hope for.
