The Fishing Village

Situated along the north coast road lies a small former British fort nestled within a small fishing village of Las Cuevas. This fort once held strategic significance during Trinidad’s colonial era, serving as a defensive outpost against potential French incursions. Today, remnants of this history remain visible in the form of cast iron cannons and a weathered stone wall. While the site now primarily functions as a fishing ground for the Las Cuevas community, it has also emerged as a growing popular destination for local tour groups as the steps carved along the cliffside offer breathtaking, panoramic views of the aquamarine waters below. Mother Nature herself is now taking back what was once pristine, as this site is no longer dominated by the darkness of colonialism, but rather the resilience of the people who now thrive on that very environment.
