About Paria Bay - Beach & Turtle Watching Trinidad, Arima Proper, Trinidad and Tobago

After about an hour or two of hiking you will reach the lovely beach at Paria Bay. It’s a short walk from the beach to the waterfalls. At the base of the waterfalls at Paria is a large, deep, and clear pool that is ideal for swimming. Paria Bay is also one of the many nesting sites for the leatherback turtles.

    Perhaps one of the most beautiful scenery I’ve seen so far and not only on the island. The natural stone arch and the mild sand are so exotic, and yes, there are lots of big and small turtles that don’t care if you are around. We saw some people with tents here and I instantly regret not thinking of that before. I would’ve love to spend a night or two right there on the beach.

    It’s like a little nature wonder. I know that there are lots of natural arch and lovely beaches around the other islands, but my family and I specially loved this one. The Paria Bay is a lovely place to have a lazy day at.

    Oh wow the beach with the arch… It’s one of those places that I think I’ll dream off forever.

    I was camping with a group of friends here for 5 days. The only trouble are turtles, there’s too many of them, they were entering our tents all the time. The beach is not too crowded, everything except turtle invaders was great.

    Exotic beach with great wildlife. The arch is quite beautiful.

    I’ve never seen something so breathtaking. I don’t even travel a lot, but even if you do, I think it is hard to beat the delightment a person experiences after seeing this beach and the arch. Truly breathtaking. I’ve read the comments it is nothing special, but I suppose they come from people who love material things and parties, not nature. Visit and see for yourselves!!
