Cedros is a coastal area that lies on a peninsula at the South-Western end of the island of Trinidad. Named by Spanish sailors due to the once heavy presence of cedar trees, it is located at the tip of the peninsula which lies mere miles off the coast of Venezuela and is the most southern point in the Caribbean. The main area is known as Bonasse[2] which is of French origin meaning "easy-going."
Cedros is the closest legal point of entry to Venezuelans wishing to enter Trinidad and Tobago.[3]
