As a swimmer! This is my favourite beach! I come here every week and swim as far as I can! Keep the videos coming, cant wait for the new vid! Good job life guard
Thank you so much Marlene 🙏🏼😆 I appreciate the feedback and I will always be trying to improve as time passes. We can definitely visit these places 💙✅✌🏻
A beach that I always was scared of swimming there😢but Alan is a great swimmer😂.But it is beautiful, worth visiting. It used to be a base for American subs. Thanks Alan for portraying the beauty of Trinbago. Trinis stop littering.
I visited this beach on a family trip to Trinidad way back in 1998 when I was a kid. Still have fond memories of this beach. I particularly remember how beautiful the drive was just to get there. Everything looks almost the same as it did back then. Thanks for sharing.
You are absolutely correct ☝🏻☝🏻🇹🇹 the drive to this beach is so relaxing and beautiful 💙 amazing scenery and green mountains ⛰ on both sides. Such a paradise 🌴🌴🌴
VERY GOOD TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT THE DANGERS OF THE BEACH,,,ONLY GOOD STRONG SWIMMERS. BUT A VERY NICE BEACH. ONE OF MY FAVOURITE. I live at 4 Roads,,easy. Also TOCO BEACH HAVE A UNDER CURRENT. AT TIME. ENJOY. 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Blessings buddy haha 😂 i hope you get to come back soon. I am actually missing traveling 🧳 and my last trip was snowboarding in Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 So maybe we can switch places for a bit
Should have mentioned the history of the bay and to why there's such a big sudden drop due to it being used for a Submarine base during the 50s/60s Cold War, WW2.
Aye bro you got a new subscriber from beautiful Trinidad and Tobago. I’m loving all your content. Information packed and editing is next level. Stay blessed keep safe one love ❤️👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼🇹🇹.
Thank you so much buddy and I appreciate your support 🙌🏽🙌🏽💯 I am always grateful for new subscribers, especially from Trinidad 🇹🇹 I plan on making a lot of local content this year so I hope you enjoy 😉
Beautiful videos. Trinidad is truly beautiful. Hope someone can build a beautiful hotel away from the city. Hope a foreigner in the hotel business see your videos and visit us. What is breathtaking about Trinidad landscaping, is no country in the Caribbean has this. Christerfa Columbus when he visited Trinidad he was fascinated with the beauty of the northern range and the hillside. He called us " La_Trinity" he was in awe! The views took my breath away, because nature is one way to understand the wisdom from our creator and it helps us to know that he exist in heaven. He is the greatest designer, artist, architect and I hope Trinidadians will appreciate all that you have done and keep the beaches great job!👍🤟
Welcome! You have helped us to visit places in Trinidad for the first time with your drone. I also want to express my gratitude to your crews. You were a true Trini. Your language and Trini slang were on point. You were your self and that helped me to continue watching.
Thank you so much buddy and I agree that its not my favourite beach at all. However its really underrated as an option and definitely worth a visit 🙏🏼✅✅🥰
That’s crazy and i am glad you are ok 👌🏼 Its a beautiful beach but a lot of people get caught off guard by the drop off. So it can be very dangerous 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🇹🇹
macqueripe is not really a beach it was a dock to dock american submarines during world war 2 so you have to be careful it gets very deep not far from the shore. the americans naval base was here during the war.
macqueripe only got two things going for it. 1. its the nearest decent beach to port of spain 2. on a clear day you can get a very good view of venezuela.
The last time I came here was maybe 15 or more years ago and the crowd was intolerable. Maxi taxis with music blaring and the place a mess. My fisrt visit was in maybe 1960 or around, when the U.S Army was still in control. The walk down was a planked walkway running directly down to a concrete stage running left and right some feet above the beach. The left was the food and kitchen with the smell of hot-dogs and hamburgers wafting across the whole place. The right were small changing rooms in a row. Facing out to sea was a floating platform some distance from the shore that only the strong swimmers would go. I must've done it twice with fins as I wasn't that strong a swimmer. The depth there at the platform would've been about 20 to 25 feet or maybe more? I was only 10 yrs so it's a tough recall. It looks so different seeing the vids you took.
It really has changed drastically in the last few years to be honest and not necessarily for the best ! I think it was a much more beautiful place back in the day although its still really beautiful now ❤️🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Picture quality on point! I heard there's a reef nearby, if possible can you make a video highlighting this.. I love snorkeling at macqueripe but I just started so I haven't ventured out too far...yet. It's really beautiful to see different species of fish swimming around.
You are correct my friend 👏🏼👏🏼 there is definitely reef out there and its best viewed on a day with lots of sun and clean water. Wil definitely try to make a video. There is also a little mini beach you can swim around to if ya ever snorkelling there 💯🙌🏽🙌🏽
@@Trini_Surfer I can't wait! Yes timing important to get that water clarity.. I like to think after midday when the sun comes on that side the water clarity is better, I could be wrong. If possible can you show us the little beach as well please.
Thank you so much buddy and I did see her haha 😂 I appreciate the feedback on the talking. To me i have plenty work to do because it feels so awkward ☝🏻☝🏻💯
@@Trini_Surfer well man I must say it feels awkward because it is hahaha vlogging is not a common thing here in trinidad. You make me feel as though I dont give enough information hahah. It feels awkward to you but it comes out so natural and I would say 100% confident.
I think we all have our styles that work man. I am just doing whatever comes to my mind, much like yourself. It obviously works well for you so I can’t see any reason to change that 💯💯
@@Trini_Surfer It was impressive! Great video also. Macqueripe is my favorite after-work swim spot. I get away from the heavy evening traffic heading East too.
"Apparently I am the lifeguard on duty, so I'm gonna leave my booth, let these people swim at their own risks, cause they're not my problem anymore"- The great Alan Charles
I would day that once the kids are good swimmers then, with proper supervision, it’s fairly safe. Especially when lifeguards are on duty. However you are correct that is has deep areas and requires extra vigilance. Floating devices and life jackets can be very useful as well
Absolutely correct 👌🏼👌🏼 it’s a beautiful beach but people who are not strong swimmers need to be extra careful. We don’t want anyone to be in a situation where they can be harmed 💯☝🏻☝🏻
New friend a home sick Trini... So good to see beautiful Tucker Valley...Thanks. 10 min. and under I will keep watching...😉
I am sorry that you are homesick 🥲🥲🥲 hopefully you can visit soon 🔜 and get some sun ☀️

So maybe we can switch places for a bit
Thinking about heading there tomorrow. Definitely gonna check the tide, my 5 year old requires Sand lol!

You are absolutely correct my brother 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I didn’t have all my information together at the time of filming. But there is so much history 👏🏼🇹🇹🇹🇹

Thank you so much buddy and I agree that its not my favourite beach at all. However its really underrated as an option and definitely worth a visit 🙏🏼✅✅🥰
I almost drowned at this beach, because no one warned me about the drop, and I'm not a good swimmer. It's great that you mentioned it though 👍
That’s crazy and i am glad you are ok 👌🏼
Its a beautiful beach but a lot of people get caught off guard by the drop off.

It used to be a submarine port in WW2
Correct ☝🏻☝🏻

You are right to an extent boss ✅✅✅ but the water clarity also just depends on the ocean itself. How much river water or trash is there etc etc.
people forget macqueripe was used by the americans to dock their submarines there when they had a naval base there during world war 2
This is absolutely correct
Keep up the good work boss 👍🏼
Thank you so much boss man. I see like you drip some fire 🔥 recently yaself.
Gonna give it a proper watch now 💯🇹🇹
@@Trini_Surfer much love g 🙏🏼 can't wait to see that recent location you went too 🙌🏼 I never even been there 💯👍🏼 good stuff bro and vibes

Nice intro! Love it
Thank you so much buddy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 i had a very talented friend produce it for me. So i am super grateful ✌🏻✌🏻💯
@@Trini_Surfer It was impressive! Great video also. Macqueripe is my favorite after-work swim spot. I get away from the heavy evening traffic heading East too.
That makes sense. Stop , have a relaxing swim 🏊♂️ let all the traffic ease off and then make moves.
BES' BEACH!!
Love it 😍
Intro 👀😬
Good video bro, I didn't think you could fill 7mins on this beach nah 😂
Well done 🙏🏽
Yeaa bro haha 😆 I saw how the pros like yourself do it. Figured let me at least try to look a little more in the game haha 😂
Dude says short video then drops 7 mins of info, lol...and looks like low tide, nice video bro
Haha 😂 you are so correct. In my mind it was really as filler video but it ended up having some chat in it haha 😂

But i would of save them for free 🙏🏼🙏🏼💯

I really like you warning people about swimming here. The Beach is dangerous. Watch your children,,drop off. Only good swimmers,,other wise very nice.
