This is a major tourist attraction, located on the North West peninsula. This is one of the cleanest beaches in the north coast. It is just about a half hour drive from the capital Port of Spain. The beach has a very light surf seeing as it’s in a cove. It's beautiful and a pleasant walk down allows you to snap photos of the scenery. The beach itself has lifeguards and some colorful rocks. It doesn't have the rough surf or the crowds of Maracas beach and it also doesn't require you to drive over a mountain range to get there. There are a few small food vendors and a changing area.

There are 7 lines and 5 canopy walks all supervised by trained young people. The staffs are very stern and professional in their approach to customers' safety. Any questions or concerns you may have will be addressed. There are also plans to have a longer line over the bay itself. Currently its $120TT to zip-line and it takes about 1 hour (if there is a crowd).

The entire zip line course of seven lines, the highest being 100 feet, takes between forty-five minutes and one hour to complete and is an added attraction to the ever growing popularity of Trinidad’s western peninsula. Initial users of this latest attraction in Trinidad and Tobago describe it as exhilarating and too short as all zippers confessed to wanting more.
