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.
