National Park?
[edit]This page should be move (without redirect) to "Maracas Beach". The beach exist but not the park. --Andyrom75 (talk) 11:52, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- It's very rare to move without redirecting. I'd suggest moving, but leaving a redirect. Ikan Kekek (talk) 12:01, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- Even if the current name is wrong? --Andyrom75 (talk) 16:34, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, because clearly, someone was confused. There isn't any other place called "Maracas National Park," right? So what does anyone lose by leaving a redirect? But yes, make the move; just leave a redirect. Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:17, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
- I support moving this to Maracas Beach, which is the common name for this destination. There’s no need to remove the redirect. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 21:17, 17 March 2025 (UTC)
- Alternatively, we could move the name to Maracas if we're including sites away from the beach such as the waterfall. The sign at the entrance to the beach is just "Maracas". @DaGizza: --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 21:00, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Based on a Google Maps search, a lot of sights in the area are called Marascas plus something, e.g. Maracas Bay, Maracas Lookout and Maracas Waterfalls but it doesn't look like the area is called Maracas itself. It's either called Maracas Valley or Maracas Bay. I think the old name was Maracas National Park which is even less suitable and the trigger for the discussion above.

- I don't remember hearing anyone use the term Maracas Valley while I was there, but I would be fine with Maracas Bay which was a term frequently used. The beach/bay is definitely best-known among the local tourist sites. --Comment by Selfie City (talk) (contributions) 01:01, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
