Quinam Beach in South Trinidad

[@jacquelinemadoo2616]

Thanks for providing the history of my country, I live abroad but never visited these parts of the country. Trinidad has a lot of hidden gems. Stay safe.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

You’re most welcome Jacqueline, I’m happy we’re able to show you different parts of the island

[@kingcole3113]

Real beauty looks like the type of beach where you can have a peace of mind

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Indeed it is bro, can just relax, although it’s one of the few beaches here that doesn’t have any coconut trees

[@Copilot1204]

For real your like best dude to be talking about Trinidad I can tell you really love your country. I love the good vibes , interesting stories , historical backgrounds of the places you visit, and even informative warnings for your viewers. I appreciate all the videos bro, I’ve recently have taken a keen interest in Trinidad so to say the least your channel has been extremely helpful. Coming from a Cuban that was born in the US I have a lot of love for the Caribbean , but I’ve never actually been there. I’ve felt I’ve been homesick my whole life. Just the people, the culture and the energy I feel very connected with. Keep the videos coming stay blessed.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Wow 🙏🏽 much appreciated and thanks, hope you have a blessed one as well

Quinam beach is typically very silty/muddy from what I remember. Last time i was there was in 1992. Made curry chicken and edoes but the edoes did not boil. Lol

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Lol, fire wasn’t strong enough to boil them edoes, yeah but the waters were pretty good when I visited, and this was before the heavy rains, which I came back and completed filming after

Nice footage Rajeev! That cat is living a best life, prime real estate :)

[@TrinbagoVibes]

True that! And thank you Lily

[@rickyaustin5164]

Looks can be deceiving, that cat was either abandoned or born from an abandoned cat. It will be looking for scraps of food visitors leave. Sadly same problem exists at the Caroni bird sanctuary. We have enough vets to avoid abandoning animals.

[@DeannaB07]

WAOW. I too, have not been there in more than 15 yrs ago (and its supposedly the closest beach to me). Heard of the upgrades, looks great! And thanks for the history, I didnt even know that! Will have to visit soon!

Yup, think the bathrooms are open only on weekends

[@brandonram70]

i remember when i was a little boy going there i hope it's not too unsafe now, i would love to go back

[@TrinbagoVibes]

It’s relatively safe and there are lifeguards down there, it’s just certain parts of the road not to righteous, but hopefully you revisit one of these days

[@rickyaustin5164]

Happy New Year, Vibes. I myself haven't been to Quinam for over 20 years. It's changed a lot from the days of plenty of vultures on the shore . I'm glad to see new facilities for the public. Your opening showed a young cat, really sad that people abandon such animals as the quick solution.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Indeed, I was surprised by the cats in the area as well and it’s most unfortunate…Happy New years to you and yours as well Ricky

That's one beach I never went to. I'm in Arouca, we usually got to maracas beach. However my parents long ago went there in their childhood. They said it's not a good beach anymore

[@TrinbagoVibes]

That was the case a decade ago but it ain’t as bad once it’s low tide and there isn’t any rough seas, but you’ll see places all over Trinidad and Tobago on the channel at some point 😁

[@TrinbagoVibes]

Greetings, there is a taxi service at the airport as soon as you exit the departure (not sure of their prices, as it varies depending on your destination) as I’m not sure the regular public transport will be there…where are you staying?

@@TrinbagoVibes I was planning on camping along the north coast for 4 days. When I first arrive I was hoping a taxi driver would know of a hotel to take me to. I heard there is an ATM in the airport but don't know if that's safe...thank you, sir. I liked your video of Quinam Beach.

[@TrinbagoVibes]

@@jeffreyrweege8251 nice and yeah there are a few atm and they are relatively safe, and if it’s US you’re exchanging, I recommend you get at least a $7TT to $1 US rate…you can book a night at the Hyatt or Radisson in Port of Spain and take the Bus at City Gate (10 mins walk from either hotel) to Blanchisseuse, that way you can stop off along any part of the north coast
