Getting There
-
Car
From Maracas Bay, head south on the North Coast Road (also known as the Maracas Bay Road). Continue driving for approximately 15 kilometers (about 25 minutes). You will pass through the village of Maracas and then through the town of Blanchisseuse. Follow the signs for Blanchisseuse, and keep an eye out for signs directing you towards Paria Bay. Once you reach Blanchisseuse, there will be a small sign indicating the trail leading to Paria Bay. Park your car at the designated parking area, and prepare for a hike.
-
Public Transportation
From Maracas Bay, you can catch a taxi or a shared minibus heading towards Blanchisseuse. Look for the vehicles at the main road that runs through Maracas Bay. The fare should be approximately $10-$15 TTD per person. Ask the driver to drop you off at the trailhead for Paria Bay, which is located just past the village of Blanchisseuse. Once dropped off, you will need to hike along the trail to reach Paria Bay, which is about a 1-hour walk.
-
Hiking
Once you arrive at the trailhead from either driving or public transportation, you will need to hike approximately 2.5 kilometers (about 1.5 miles) along a well-marked trail. The hike can be moderately challenging due to some uneven terrain and elevation changes, so ensure you wear comfortable shoes and carry water. Follow the signs leading to Paria Bay until you reach the beach, which will be well worth the effort.
