Overview

If you're driving up the North Coast en route to Maracas Bay or Las Cuevas Beach, the Maracas Lookout is the ideal rest stop. Here, the air is clean and crisp, a place where friendly coconut vendors offer coconut water to cool travellers down. The lookout offers a breathtaking view of Port of Spain and its environs, as well as the Northern Range: Maracas Bay and Balata Bay. It's a perfect spot to purchase hand-made local jewellery and other keepsakes, and best of all, to enjoy some live old-time calypso music.
