Maracas Beach, Beach in San Juan-Laventille, Trinidad and Tobago.
The two-kilometer stretch of off-white sand at Maracas Beach meets blue-green waters, bordered by palm trees along the northern Trinidad coast.
The development of Maracas Beach as a tourist destination began in the 1950s, transforming from a simple fishing village into a major recreational spot.
Local food vendors prepare the traditional bake and shark dish, serving it with an array of sauces including tamarind, garlic, and pepper varieties.
