Toco Lighthouse

                                  Breathtaking View

 

 

 

Have you ever felt that you were standing on the edge of the world?  That’s the feeling you get when you visit the Toco Lighthouse. It’s located at Galera point, which happens to be the most north-easterly village of Trinidad and is also the closest point to our sister isle Tobago. The light house itself is a spectacular monument to our history and has stood strong for almost 150 years, guiding so many of sea dwellers to safety. Also the compound which the light house is based has and ambient settings with chairs and tables shaded by beautiful almond trees, which caters for family picnics and excursions. However for the adventure seekers, who may be willing to go beyond the confines of the safety railing. There is a short track that leads to a rock platform and shared cliff that overlooks the point which the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea meet. The vast never ending horizon of wide open water is breath taking. Truly a magnificent experience and a site definitely worth seeing” ‘just be careful”.
