Backpacking in Cedros
👍 Recommendedtown ranked #7
By Johan Kruseman 🇳🇱 | Updated October 22, 2026

Cedros sits near the very end of the road, a fishing village where Venezuela’s coast is visible across the Columbus Channel, about 14 kilometers away at the narrowest point. Look at the map of Trinidad and Tobago and you will find Cedros at the far southwestern tip of the island. Skip it if you want nightlife, a hostel dorm or a sightseeing list, because there are none. Go for the fishing boats, the smell of coconut groves, the coast road with its salt-bleached villages and the fresh fish you can buy near the landing. Getting there takes a long shared-taxi chain from San Fernando, and you will meet more pelicans than backpackers. Unlike Icacos, its neighbor at the tip, Cedros has the shops, the buses and a place to eat lunch.

✨ Why go?
Ranked #7 town in Trinidad and Tobago
Why visitors keep coming back

Cedros suits slow travelers who want to see the Trinidad that tour buses skip. The reason to come is the southwestern peninsula itself: a working coast where fishermen haul in their catch near the Columbus Channel, and where the road to the tip runs through coconut estates for mile after mile. Most people stay a day, a few linger two, and nobody comes for a packed schedule. Stays are small guesthouses or rentals in the area, so book ahead and don’t count on walk-in options. Food is the other draw. Fresh fish, shark and bake, and roadside doubles taste better when the sea is a hundred meters away. It is quiet at night, and the social side is chatting with villagers, so solo travelers who like talking will do well. Hikers and party seekers should look elsewhere, but anyone building a south Trinidad … read more 👉

💡 HighlightsDon't-miss highlights and experiences

  1. Cedros Fishing Depot and Beachfront: The working heart of the village, where boats land and fishermen sell the catch. Go in the morning when boats come in. Free, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  2. Columbus Channel Viewpoint along the Cedros coast road: Pull over on the shore road and look across the narrow strait to the Venezuelan coast. Late afternoon gives clear air. Free, 20 to 30 minutes.
  3. Cedros Coconut Estates: The road in runs past rows of palms, among the island’s main coconut-growing areas. Walk or ride slowly and talk to anyone selling water nuts at the roadside, about US$1 to 2. Morning is cooler. 30 to 60 minutes.
  4. Local Fish Fry Stalls: Fried fish and bake served near the shore in simple setups. Expect US$4 to 8 for a plate. Go at lunchtime when it is freshest. About 45 minutes.
  5. Cedros Village Streets

For day trips, Icacos at the peninsula’s tip, the town of Fullarton, and the Los Iros area are close by along the same coastal road, and Point Fortin is the nearest larger town. All of the above fits into half a day.

🏘️ NeighborhoodsUnderstanding the local layout

Cedros is a fishing village at the far southwestern tip of Trinidad, and its few areas are all within a short drive of each other, so you can cover them in a day.
  • Cedros village center: A strip of shops, rum bars, a market stall or two and the fishing depot. Walkable in ten minutes, and worth it for fried fish and bake, plus a chat with anyone mending a net. Do not expect a nightlife scene, because the nightlife is a speaker and a cooler.
  • Bonasse: A quiet stretch to the east with a calm shoreline and a few houses. Worth a stroll if you want to see how little is happening, which is the point. Walking works, but the sun does not negotiate.
  • Icacos: The very end of the road, where the island runs out and Venezuela sits across the Columbus Channel. The coconut groves and the empty point are the draw.

  • Chatham and the coast road: Small settlements strung along the route, good for roadside snacks and a feel for the fishing communities. Too spread out to walk, so share a taxi.

⌛️ 1 dayA smart one-day plan

8:00 AM, Cedros Fishing Depot: Start at the shore when the boats come in, because the catch is fresh and the fishermen are most talkative then. Watch the unloading and ask what is running that day. From there, walk along the beachfront.
9:30 AM, Beachfront walk: Stroll the coast and get your bearings. The water is calm and the Venezuelan shoreline sits across the channel on clear mornings. Follow the road east toward the village center.
11:00 AM, Village streets and church: Wander the small streets, stop at a shop for a cold drink, and see the community church. Few visitors come here, so a greeting goes a long way.
12:30 PM, Fish fry lunch: Sit down for fried fish and bake at a local stall. It is simple, filling and the best-value meal in the village.

4:30 PM, Columbus Channel viewpoint: Finish at the shore road as the light softens and the air clears over the strait. Stay until the fishing boats head out.

🌤️ When to go?Best time to visit Cedros

The dry season from January to May is the easiest window for Cedros, with little rain and steady sea breezes.
  • Dry Season (January to May): Highs of 30 to 33°C (86 to 91°F), lows near 22°C (72°F), and about 11 to 12 hours of daylight. Roads and beaches are at their best, and prices stay flat because few tourists come.
  • Wet Season (June to December): Warm at 28 to 32°C (82 to 90°F), with heavy afternoon downpours and humid air. Roads can flood, and the sea turns choppy. Everything is quieter and a little greener.
  • Carnival (February or March): Most of the island heads to Port of Spain, and Cedros transport is thinner around the dates.
Book your return from the southwest early in the day, since afternoon showers slow everything down.

🛏️ Where to stay?Best areas to stay in Trinidad and Tobago

The best place for a budget stay near Cedros is the village center itself, with guesthouses and small rentals within a short walk of food and the main road. Hostels do not exist here, so expect simple private rooms at around US$25 to 50 a night, and book ahead by phone since options are few.

The village center gives you shops, rum bars, and the early maxi taxi pickups, which matter if you leave at dawn. It is quiet at night, with the occasional music from a bar and roosters at sunrise. The streets are dim after dark, so you will want to be back before late evening.

The other option is Point Fortin, a larger town about 45 minutes away with more guesthouses, supermarkets, and frequent transport. It suits you better if you want more choice and a bigger menu, and you accept the commute to Cedros.

🚌 Getting aroundHow to get from A to B

Cedros is a fishing village at the far southwestern tip of Trinidad, and its few streets can be walked end to end in 15 minutes, but walking stops making sense the moment you want the beach, the lighthouse or anywhere beyond the village edge. The road along the peninsula is long, flat in places and shadeless, so a 5 km stroll in midday sun is a character-building exercise nobody asked for. Public transport exists but keeps its own schedule, and the schedule is mostly the driver’s mood.
  • Walking: Free, and right for the waterfront, the jetty and the village shops. Go early or late, because midday heat on the road is fierce.
  • Maxi taxis and route taxis from Icacos and Fullarton: The workhorse. Shared taxis run the main road toward Icacos and Fullarton, with fares around US$1 to 3 for short hops.

  • Maxi taxis and route taxis from Icacos and Fullarton: The workhorse. Shared taxis run the main road toward Icacos and Fullarton, with fares around US$1 to 3 for short hops. Services thin out after about mid-afternoon, and there is no printed timetable, so ask a local where to stand.
  • Route taxi from San Fernando: The way in from the rest of the island. The ride from San Fernando to Cedros takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours with a change at Fyzabad or Point Fortin, and costs around US$3 to 6 in total. Start early, since the last connections back leave in the late afternoon.
  • Private taxi: Pricey but sensible for the lighthouse, the far-flung beaches and evenings, at roughly US$15 to 30 per trip depending on distance. Agree the price before you get in, and split it with other travelers.
  • Pirogue and boat transfers: Local fishermen run boats along the coast and toward Venezuela’s shoreline waters for fishing and sightseeing, typically US$15 to 45 a trip. Only go with an owner someone local vouches for.
A rental car is the only truly independent option, and I would skip it for a short stay. Driving is on the left, and the shared taxis plus one private ride cover almost everything you will want here.

👛 Costs (as of 22 October 2026)Money, prices, and spending tips

🚌 Day tripsWhere to go beyond the main area

Cedros works as a quiet southern base, and the best day trips use shared taxis along the peninsula road, so leave early and plan to be back by mid-afternoon.
Icacos Point:
The southwestern tip of Trinidad, where the island nearly touches Venezuela across the Columbus Channel. It is a slow, flat road of coconut groves and fishing sheds, about 30 to 45 minutes by taxi for US$2 to 4. Go in the dry season, January to May, when the track and the beach are firmest. First-timers often leave too late and discover the return taxis have stopped.
👉 Explore Icacos
Chatham and Granville Beaches:
Long, empty stretches of dark sand fronted by coconut palms, with calm water on the Gulf of Paria side. Allow 20 to 40 minutes each way by taxi, with a total spend of about US$8 to 15 including a fish lunch from a … read more 👉

Long, empty stretches of dark sand fronted by coconut palms, with calm water on the Gulf of Paria side. Allow 20 to 40 minutes each way by taxi, with a total spend of about US$8 to 15 including a fish lunch from a roadside stall. Bring your own water and shade, since there is little of either.

Point Fortin:
The nearest proper town for supplies, ATMs, and a wider choice of food, roughly an hour by route taxi for US$3 to 5. It suits a practical half day more than a sightseeing one, and Friday and Saturday are the busiest market days. Take cash, and do not leave without checking the last taxi back.

La Brea Pitch Lake:
The world’s largest natural deposit of asphalt, a strange black plain you can walk on with a local guide. Expect about 2 hours each way with changes, and a total of around US$20 to 35 with guide fees and fares. It is worth the long day if you like geological oddities, and the dry months give the firmest footing.
👉 Explore La Brea

🛡️ SafetyTraveler Safety Guide

Cedros is a quiet fishing community, and most visitors find it calm and friendly. Petty theft happens, so keep valuables out of sight and do not leave bags on the beach while you swim. After dark the roads are poorly lit and there are few people about, so take a taxi rather than walking between villages. Solo travelers are generally fine in the daytime, and greeting people goes a long way here. The coast faces Venezuela, and smuggling and fishing-boat incidents are known in the area, so stay away from isolated landings at night and do not photograph boats or officials. Mosquitoes are the everyday annoyance, so bring repellent. There are no widespread scams, but agree taxi fares before getting in.

FAQFrequently asked questions about Cedros

Cedros is worth visiting if you want a quiet, working fishing village at the end of Trinidad, but it is not a destination for sightseeing. Plan a day for Icacos Point, the coconut groves, and fried fish in the village, and add La Brea Pitch Lake on the way. Cedros suits people who like remote places, since the trip from Port of Spain takes 3 to 4 hours.
One to two days is enough in Cedros. A full day covers the village, Bonasse, and Icacos Point by private taxi (about US$10 to 25), and a second day lets you add La Brea Pitch Lake or Point Fortin. Stay longer only if you want to sit by the water and do nothing.
Cedros can be done as a long day trip from Point Fortin, about 45 minutes away, but it is tiring from Port of Spain at 3 to 4 hours each way. Transport thins out by early evening, so a return from Cedros needs to start in the afternoon. If you want to see Icacos Point without rushing, sleep locally in a guesthouse costing around US$25 to 50.
⚠️ Things can change over time, so always validate details locally before you go.

We 💚 feedbackSumming up the experience

Cedros trips go wrong when people arrive late in the day, expecting restaurants and taxis to be waiting. Go in the morning, eat lunch early and sort your ride out before dusk. Bring cash, because small stalls take nothing else, and plan to stay until the afternoon light over the channel.
