Locals can reach Maracus from town (That is what they call Port of Spain) in 35 minutes- visitors will take an hour at least if they don't know the road. If you like a crowd and want to party- Maracus is the place for you- if you want less people and a more relaxing 'lime'- keep going to Las Cuevas beach. Be careful with kids when the water is rough at times- I don't need to explain that- right- watch for red flags.

If you really want a nice trip capturing all the beauty of the area- keep going to Blanchisseuse and from there to Paria Falls. I lived in Trinidad for years and know the country well- like all places it good and bad areas, but the crime now is especially bad and you should be mindful of what you do.

Some have posted the murders and violent crime was down in 2011 compared to 2010- they don't mention it is because of a State of Emergency and curfews in several areas reduced the figures, but they are still high. If you are driving at night and you don't know where you are going in advance- use a taxi service or take a pass on it.

It was a wavy beach but it was beautiful to enjoy the beach for what it was.

Really? The available facilities simply are poor to inadequate for Trinidad's number 1 beach. The parking lot ($10 to park) desperately needs to be paved. Changing and bathroom facilities are a joke! For a nation that is supposed to be the wealthiest in the Caribbean the authorities need to invest in the facilities of its flagstaff beach.
