Nariva River Mouth
Last verified 15 Aug 2026 · how we verify
Trinidad's largest river meets the sea here: kayaking, fishing and caiman spotting.
Where the Nariva reaches the coast on the Manzanilla-Mayaro Road, the water is calm enough to paddle and productive enough to fish. Caiman are regularly seen from the bank. There is a concrete bridge at the crossing point.
