My Photo Stories

I read on Caribbean Beat  that a time long ago the area was home to wild pigeons until it made way for a coconut estate and hence the name Pigeon Point. The walk from Milford Road along Pigeon Point Road past Bago bar at Cable Bay is relaxing. The jetty is said to be one of the most photographed in the world. The beach often makes top ten lists. It is a location for weddings and photography and water sports. You pay a nominal fee to enter which goes towards the upkeep of the facilities.

These photos were taken in 2009 using a Casio point and shoot. I didn't have a fancy smartphone or DSLR at that time. Maracas beach or bay is located on the North coast of Trinidad. The drive to Maracas over the hills is calming and breezy with mountain vegetation and at times you can see the sea. Stop out at the famous Maracas lookout to take photos and indulge in the local preserves being sold. You cannot leave Maracas beach without eating one or more bake and shark and you will crave one when you get home so buy extras. If you are vegetarian like me then maybe try the bake with just the toppings and sauces.
