The long beautiful stretch of coastline with a stop to taste the popular bake and
shark, a local fried fish sandwich topped with various condiments and popularly
eaten at the beach. There are two lovely lookout points along the drive.

2. TYRICO BEACH
Tyrico Beach is located just east of Maracas Beach, within 2 minutes of driving past Maracas
Bay. It is great for swimming and relaxing It is not a bay in itself as it is actually situated within
Maracas Bay at its eastern end. This lovely spot of sand, though underrated by locals, is great for
the visitor who wishes to be in close proximity to the food and amenities of Maracas Beach, but
away from the crowds. A more relaxing swim is also afforded as the angle of the beach results in
smaller waves and a less hectic surf, making it ideal for visitors with children. With lots of sand
real estate per sun-bather, this mini Maracas is the best of both worlds.

Marianne River. The lagoon is great alternative for swimming when the sea gets too
