You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.171.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 December 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Manzanilla Beach''' is a beach in [[Trinidad and Tobago]].  Located on the east coast of [[Trinidad]], the larger island, the beach sits directly on the Manzanilla Bay adjoined to the larger north [[Atlantic Ocean]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.google.de/maps/place/Manzanilla+Bay,+Trinidad+and+Tobago/@10.5006496,-61.0268641,14z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x8c4a194653db33df:0x3668b97b48d117d9|title = Manzanilla Bay · Trinidad and Tobago))</ref>

==Etymology==

The word ''manzanilla'' is the [[diminutive#Spanish|diminutive]] form of the Spanish word for [[apple]], ''manzana''.  The beach was so named by early Spanish settlers, who encountered what they thought were apple trees with small fruit.  They were in fact the [[manchineel]] tree, bearing toxic fruit that closely resembles apples.<ref>http://www.amazing-trinidad-vacations.com/vacation-safety-tips.html</ref>  The name of the area was still maintained even after the arrival of the British in 1797.

==History==

Largely uninhabited until 1822, Manzanilla beach saw new settlers when Governor Ralph Woodford brought soldiers of the West India Regiment in the area. The reason for this settlement was twofold: firstly, because the regiment was composed mainly of Black soldiers and wished to avoid the incidence of runaway slaves hiding among the Black soldiers and secondly, the Governor wished to promote the development of a roadway from [[Arima]] to the east coast.

These soldiers were each given sixteen acres of land which they developed with their families by growing rice and ground provisions. These agricultural productions were so large that wastage was a common feature of their lands and also because of the infrequency that the round-island steamer collected their produce.

These soldiers were underpaid and slighted by their employer, the government at the time. In fact, in an attempt to ameliorate conditions, the government used the soldier's own retirement pension to provide better facilities for the village.

By 1839, the village consisted only of one medical officer, one police officer, a superintendent and a Mico Charity School for the village children.

In 1841, three years after the [[abolition of slavery]] in 1838, the Governor at the time, Sir Henry MacLeod had sent Reverend J.H. Hamilton on a mission to report about the situation in Manzanilla. The Reverend, although more concerned about his proselytizing ambitions, did report that there were about five Mandingo priests and a horrible track between Arima and Manzanilla.

The residents of the area later developed cocoa and coffee and by 1898, the problem of transport of goods was solved with the introduction of the railway to neighboring [[Sangre Grande]].

As a result of an agreement between [[Sir Winston Churchill]] and President [[Franklin Roosevelt]], Manzanilla village served as a base of operations in the Caribbean for American soldiers in [[World War II]] in 1942.  The area was established as a training camp for the army, where [[Military history of the United States during World War II|American soldiers]] trained in [[jungle warfare]] before being deployed in the region.<ref>((cite web| url = http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Many_faces_of_Manzanilla-124954194.html| url-status = dead| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110707045924/http://www.trinidadexpress.com/news/Many_faces_of_Manzanilla-124954194.html| archive-date = 2011-07-07| title = Many faces of Manzanilla ((!))

==Tourism==

As one of the most sparsely populated areas on the island, Manzanilla has become a choice tourism destination for visitors seeking a quieter and less commercial beach experience.  There are a few resorts, such as the Coconut Cove, that cater to tourists visiting the region for leisure.  Despite its appeal as an attraction, Manzanilla is infamous for its consistently rough waters and dangerous undercurrents during high tide.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g147387-d312184-Reviews-Manzanilla_Beach-Trinidad_and_Tobago.html|title = Manzanilla Beach (Trinidad and Tobago) - 2022 All You Need to Know BEFORE You Go (With Photos)))</ref>

The beach is also known as a hatching site of the local [[leatherback sea turtle]].  Due to the abundance of these nests, Manzanilla beach has caught the attention of [[ecotourism|eco-tourists]] as a destination for turtle-watching.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.dcoconutcove.com/turtlewatching.php |title=Trinidad Hotels d'Coconut Cove Holiday & Eco Resort |access-date=2015-05-09 |archive-date=2015-02-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150227004722/http://www.dcoconutcove.com/turtlewatching.php |url-status=dead ))</ref>
