Visitors to Trinidad's northeast coast between May and September can observe the evening spectacle as five species of turtles come ashore to nest; the leatherback, loggerhead, hawksbill, green and olive ridley turtles all use this coast for nesting, although the leatherbacks are easiest to spot as they weigh up to 2,000 pounds.
If you're not visiting Trinidad and Tobago for Carnival, you're here for the country's stunning natural beauty. Trinidad's beaches offer everything from complete solitude to lively recreation areas. On the north side, the beaches of Macqueripe Bay surround the small, calm cove that is often a playground for dolphins; the picturesque Maracas Beach, outside of Port of Spain, is a popular destination complete with changing facilities and snack booths; Las Cuevas Bay is another favorite and has a calmer surf than Maracas Bay; and visitors should also check out the north coast's Blanchisseuse Bay, L'Anse Martin, Damien Bay and Yarra. The northeast coast is home to Salybia Beach with its rim of coconut trees, the secluded Balandra Bay and the swimmer-friendly Sally/Saline Bay. Visitors to Trinidad's east coast will find Manzanilla, a favorite of sun-bathers, and Mayaro, which is the island's longest beach, spanning nine miles. To the south sits Quinam Beach with its low waves, the windsurfer paradise of Los Iros and the beautiful Cedros peninsula, which is also one of Trinidad's best spots to view Venezuela.
Quite an oddity sits in La Brea in South Trinidad—the world's largest asphalt lake. Pitch Lake, while perhaps not the most beautiful of nature's creations, is certainly an intriguing one. The 100-acre lake is believed to be 250 feet deep in the center and contains some 10 million tons of pitch. As the lake replenishes itself and turns over, artifacts both peculiar and historically significant such as a mastodon tooth, fossil remains of the giant sloth, and Amerindian artifacts have been uncovered. Mineral pools on the lake are purported to have healing properties because of their high sulphur content.
