The east coast
Balandra Bay: sheltered and good
for swimming
Manzanilla: bordered by the
distinctive “Cocal” (coconut forest).
Facilities and lifeguards in specific
areas
Mayaro: glorious stretch of beach
— the longest in the island. Shells
of “chip chip”, like clam shells,
protect small oceanic organisms.
A popular weekend getaway spot
Salybia Bay: popular for surfing
(November–April). There’s a fringing
reef offshore.
The south & southwest coasts
Columbus & Cedros Bays: stunning
and pristine bays in quiet
fishing villages on the southwestern
coast, with views of Venezuela
on a clear day. Cedros has the widest
beach on the island at low tide
Mayaro
Quinam Beach: probably the most
popular beach on the south coast,
good for swimming (though the
beach disappears at high tide).

and trails into the woods.
