This doesn't qualify as a standard beach for swimming. However, if you are into geology, this place is for you. You can get a view of the prehistoric formations and the cool red porcellanite rocks. The formation represents one of the final stages of basin infilling that occurred during the Plio-Pleistocene era. The water is rocky if you decide to venture out, wear water shoes. Three stars because the narrow road is fairly rough and has no facilities etc. Otherwise, cool place created from plate movements over millions of years from Pangea. It seems Trinidad was the center of huge land masses shifting away. FYI Tobago most likely started somewhere near Panama along with most of the Caribbean Islands
A truly untouched gem! Chatham Beach is such a wonderful experience.
An outing perfect for adventurers, the family or if you're just looking for a beach bath. However, to locals, it's a get away for fishing on a high tide or as one mentioned, they just wanted to celebrate a birthday with the family outdoors.
It's a bit of a drive from the north but so worth it. There's enough parking and it's a safe and clean environment.
The stones and pebbles on this beach are somewhat of an interest as they are of all varying colours, shapes and form: Purples, reds, browns, creams, browns and blacks with every shade in between. So beautiful! I've added photos for your viewing pleasure.
The locals are so friendly and informative. Such a terrific experience.
