Las Cuevas - Trinidad

Las Cuevas Bay

This beach is East of the infamous Maracas Bay.  There is also Tyrico bay just before it and Chupara Bay right after it.  The name “Las Cuevas” means “The Caves” and there are many caves on this beach.  The bay is more sheltered than Maracas therefore the water is calmer and the waves get to approximately three (3) feet.

We took this drive up on Saturday after first going to Arouca for my husband to source his work.  These North coast beaches are accessible via Blanchisseuse, Santa Cruz, St. Joseph, or Maraval.  We chose the Maraval route as we wanted something to eat and Maraval had the most delectable choices for our palette.

I purchased some new software and was toying on not posting this entry until I was able to setup the software and do new photo editing to show you all my shots.

However, as you can tell I was itching to write.

It turned out to be a hot sunny day, with the ensuing rain falling in the morning hours.  We arrived at the beach around 3pm for an afternoon frolic in the water.  My daughter decided to sit on the sand and carve out sea creatures, while my son played beach football with his dad and uncle.  I sat on a log and enjoyed the breeze and scenery, snacking on chips and cookies, drinking a solo Bentley with Bitters, chatting with my girlfriend (in my best GA drawl).

I tried to capture the splash of a wave, the inside of a cave, some shrubbery and folks playing up and down the beach.   I didn’t take as many shots as I have done in the past but the few I did should capture the moment.

By the way, I did toy a little with the new software received and made some subtle changes to a few of my photographs, rendering them more appealing, at least to my critic eye. 

Please enjoy.
