Williams Bay

Trinidad


Lined by a boardwalk, the calm waters of Williams Bay are popular with local families (though the water here is not the cleanest), and after dark limers promenade by the seaside. While you’re there, you might want to rent a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard from the Kayak Centre at the edge of the bay.
