Trinidad Surfing Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • The best beaches for surfing stretch along the north coast with the small village of Sans Souci and its beaches of Big Bay and Reef Break being the best spots.
  • Sena Bay is another good surf spot, just be sure to get information on conditions before heading out as waves and northern currents can be strong.
  • Surfing may be restricted during turtle nesting season, which lasts from March until August.
  • All the surf shops in Trinidad are found in malls in Port-of-Spain, so be sure to get your supplies there before hitting the waves.
  • It's difficult to reach any of the island's surf spots via public transport, most surfers hire a car at the airport instead.

Beach Overview: Trinidad, Tobago and Trinidad

By Matt Link
Far from a sleepy Caribbean isle, bustling and cosmopolitan Trinidad is one of the most modern spots in the region. It's a mere seven miles off the coast of Venezuela, and at over 1,800 square miles it's much larger than its quieter sibling, Tobago. Yes, you'll have to make your way through the shopping centers, fast-food joints, loud nightlife, and traffic jams of the capital, Port-of-Spain, to get to the island's untouched wilderness, but it's gorgeous once you find it. Moreover, the isle's large population of over 1.2 million is a fascinating mix of Syrians, Chinese, Americans, Europeans, East Indians, Parsees, Madrasis, Venezuelans, and the last of the original Amerindian settlers of the island. Trinidad is also quite prosperous, since it's one of the biggest exporters of oil in the Western Hemisphere, and it also has the source of most of the world's asphalt—the huge 114-acre Pitch Lake.
