Peechon Cove

Headland on route

The seascape, Peechon Cove is a small inlet located just before the top of the hill on Trinidad's Maracas North Coast Road and is one of the many beaches of La Vache Bay, comprising of Saut D’eau, Mal D’estomac Bay, Negmawah Bay, Cyril Bay, Lovers Bay, Balata Bay and Marquette Bay. 

'Pacro' a.k.a. Chitons

The expedition to Peechon Cove takes approximately 1 ½ hours and starts at Stollmeyer Estate, situated at the end of Blazney Road in La Pastora, Santa Cruz. The first part of the journey is a 35-minute uphill trek to the top of the Maracas North Coast Road. At the top of the road the view of the Santa Cruz Valley is breathtaking. The trek continues downhill for a further 30 minutes on the other side of the mountain towards the beach. 

Cove

This picturesque landscape is full of unexposed treasures and welcomes the opportunity for adventure. Apart from the beach, which is situated in a cozy little area, there is a stream with a 30-foot waterfall that drops directly into the sea. The water cascading from the mountains has created several jacuzzi-like pools ideal for taking a rinse from the salt water.

Enjoying the cove

The sea has eroded the landscape to form an arch and along the sandy shoreline there are small caves worth exploring. Overlooking the beach there is a headland from which thrill-seekers can enjoy a 20-foot jump into the sea, and the rocky peninsulas that surround the seaside provide perfect conditions for fishing and relaxing.
