Columbus Fishing Village

4.1(295 reviews)

About

In Trinidad, Columbus Fishing Village is found at Icacos, Trinidad and Tobago, on the island's southern coast. Visitors rate it at 4.1 out of 5 from 295 reviews, a healthy average backed by a large body of feedback, which suggests a well-visited spot. First-time visitors should expect a working coastal setting rather than a resort-style development, given the village character of the location.

The name points to a fishing heritage, and the setting at Icacos places it in the far south of Trinidad, away from the busier northern corridors. Reaching it from Port of Spain, Arima, Chaguanas or San Fernando involves a drive south, while Maracas Bay, Las Cuevas and Blanchisseuse sit on the opposite northern coast. Scarborough lies across the water on Tobago, so a visit here pairs naturally with southern Trinidad rather than the northern beaches.

Icacos sits near the southern tip of the island, and the village atmosphere shapes what visitors find on arrival. The 295 reviews indicate that word has spread well beyond the immediate area.

On Caribbean islands, minibuses and shared taxis are common public transport and often leave only once full, so allow extra time when travelling to remoter spots. Green and hawksbill turtles nest on Caribbean beaches, and coral reefs support reef fish and spiny lobster, which is worth knowing for anyone interested in the coastal environment.
