You can indulge in almost any form of watersports, including windsurfing, parasailing, waterskiing, jet skiing and non-motorized pedalos and water bikes. The best beach resort near Trinidad is Playa Anc n, not a town as such, just two resort hotels, with two more under construction. The beach is white sand and clean turquoise water, but sand flies appear after 1600. The best part of the beach is right in front of the Hotel Anc n, where there are straw sunshades and beach loungers. The rest of the beach has little shade.
People are sometimes disappointed when they come here and expect something more spectacular.
There is good diving less than 300m offshore. Good, well-maintained equipment and safety record. Safety not so good with other watersports, where life-jackets are not always offered or worn. The lifeguard on duty is not always in his chair. The best beach on the island is the 2 km white sand Playa Sirena , which faces west and is spared any wind or currents which sometimes affect the southern beaches.
