The beautiful Paria peninsula was featured here, but its beaches deserve a special mention.

A succession of bays along Paria’s north coast offer some of the most wonderful beaches in the whole of the Caribbean: palm-fringed crescents of soft golden sand that gently slope into clear calm turquoise waters, sheltered by rocky headlands.

Conditions at most beaches are good for swimming and there are usually also opportunities for a little snorkelling by the headlands. Most beaches attract just enough sun-worshippers to support a little beach bar or two but not much besides.
