Macqueripe is a small beach which is approximately 117 metres long and 116 metres wide. It is known for its variety of activities such as snorkeling, zip-lining, scuba diving, kid activities and just the fun of bathing.
When last did you visit Macqueripe Beach?
If you're like me and haven't been at Macqueripe Beach in ages (about 15 years) or maybe you've never been, I advise that you take some time out of your busy schedule, pack a beach bag and take a cool and calm drive down to the end of Tucker Valley Road, Macqueripe and enjoy the experience.
Now trust me when I say to those who have not visited this beach in a while, it looks nothing like you remember it. Well.... at least it looks nothing like I remember it. I have to tell you, when I first arrived in the car park, I started to wonder if I was at the right place because it look so different, but my friends quickly reassured me with laughter (yes, they were laughing at me...LOL) that I was definitely in the right place.
So firstly....
I obviously didn't go all the way to Macquripe by myself... Who does that? Not me... LOL. I was accompanied by my friends, the "Where Next Crew", Omari, Tracey and Nkosi and also took the opportunity to spend some quality time with my loving boyfriend Keston.
Anyway.... we all piled into Omari's car and headed to "The Beach".....

So I have to ask... Do you all know you have to pay $20 to park in Macqueripe's parking compound? Not that I'm complaining , it's just that I wasn't expecting that. Good thing we walked with money...LOL. Well we paid for our parking, parked our vehicle and proceeded to the beach area.
Where did that come from...?
Now I'm sure the last time I went to Macqueripe there was no picket fencing guiding you down to the beach area. With that being said there is a pretty wall of brown wooden picket fencing guiding you all the way down to the base of the staircase leading to the beach. Yes.... There's a staircase now, surrounded by beautiful plant life which makes a beautiful scenery. It makes you feel like you're walking through a garden with a stone path that leads to a most spectacular oceanic view.

After a long walk down we finally reached the shore line. Honestly I have to say I forgot how gorgeous this beach was. The view is awesome... so scenic.

Think I'm going to take a little drive myself but I'm not as badly off as you by not visiting in 15 years.
ReplyDeleteLast dip in that beach was about a month ago.
Really nice and enticing write up!
