Mount Irvine Bay Beach, Caribbean beach in Black Rock, Trinidad and Tobago
Mount Irvine Bay Beach features two distinct sections divided by rock formations, with one side offering gentle waters for swimming and another with surf-worthy waves.
The beach area transformed from a traditional fishing community into a recreation destination when the Mount Irvine Beach Hotel opened in the late 20th century.
Local fishermen maintain their traditional practices along the shoreline, selling fresh catches directly to beach visitors and nearby restaurants.
The beach provides amenities including restrooms, beach chair rentals, restaurants, and designated areas for water sports activities between December and March.
The natural rock barrier creates two separate swimming environments within the same bay, allowing visitors to choose between calm and wave-active waters.

Trinidad and Tobago offer a combination of coastal landscapes, nature reserves and historic colonial sites. The two islands lie off the northern coast of Venezuela and include diverse habitats ranging from mangrove swamps to rainforests and coral reefs. Attractions include the Caroni Swamp with its scarlet ibis colony, the Asa Wright Nature Centre in the Arima Valley and the natural asphalt deposit at La Brea Pitch Lake in southwestern Trinidad. The capital Port of Spain features colonial architecture including the Magnificent Seven along Western Main Road, the Red House parliament building and the Royal Botanic Gardens. Tobago provides beaches such as Pigeon Point Beach, Store Bay and Englishman's Bay, plus Fort King George above Scarborough. The Tobago Forest Reserve protects one of the oldest protected rainforest areas in the Western Hemisphere, while Little Tobago Island serves as a bird sanctuary. The Buccoo Reef Marine Area and Nylon Pool off Tobago's west coast offer access for snorkelers and divers. Religious sites like Dattatreya Temple and Mount St. Benedict Monastery reflect the country's cultural diversity. Additional natural attractions include Argyle Waterfalls, Adventure Farm and Nature Reserve, and the Yerette hummingbird sanctuary in Trinidad's Northern Range mountains.
