This is Trinidad's most popular Beach Break...with a very original name "Beach Break!". It is easy to find and breaks very often. It is a very powerful and fun wave that breaks on many different swell directions and conditions. Locals can be both comical and hostile as they invade the line up with everything from wood planks to rubber inner-tubes whenever the surf is small.
Atmosphere
Sans Souci is French for "without Worries or Problems". This place is made for relaxation in a serence environment. The tiny bay is surrounded by Jungle and Huge Forest trees. The vibe is increadible, the surroundings unspoilt. The main source of income is planting fruits, vegetables and high grade Ganja!!

Not Happening - I read how this is THE surf beach to go to so we hired a driver and made the 2.5 hour drive from the Port of Spain. It might have been that it was raining and our driver was very negative but the surf was also pretty bad, closing out in all directions. The locals said that its dangerous because of the rocks and strong current. The beach was dirty and the run off from the river (coming from the town above) was filthy. We drove to Maracas beach instead (no surf) and then further East and found a bit of surf (closing out) and more dirty water. Not ideal but you might get a good day now and again. Good luck!
