Paradise Beach is a secluded haven where one can immerse themselves in the serenity of nature, bask in the warmth of the sun, and find solace in the hypnotic whispers of the sea. This beach represents an ideal eco-environmental tourism model, has been maintained by Mr Vincent Swanson for decades, and contains bursts of vibrant colours of recycled art in every direction.
Paradise Beach is at risk of the continued threats of sea-level rise and coastal erosion, which seem to devour land in small blocks. Villagers seem to have given up on the fight against the hungry Atlantic Ocean and South Orinoco outflow into the Columbus channel. The remains of soft engineering coastal management practices could be seen and are no match to this formidable enemy. Today, there are no signs of what used to be a 20-foot-long jetty.
It was also evident that recently, a major landside of a nearby mass of land resulted in a considerable amount of it being stolen by the sea; possibly weeks ago. Environmentalists and Naturalists continue to monitor the impacts of coastal erosion along beaches in T&T, especially in south, Trinidad.
