Macqueripe
Beach Facility
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.

Zip
Lining Attraction
One of the main attractions in Macqueripe
is the Zip Lining and canopy walk. This is a great way to observe the forest
vegetation that surrounds the bay. 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.
