Galera Toco Lighthouse

Perched in Petit Trou, Toco in the North West corner of Trinidad and sandwiched between the Caribbean and Atlantic Sea one can behold the Galera Lighthouse. This lighthouse is a great place for families and ‘limers’ alike, as it has facilities such as a visitors’centre, secure parking, plush landscapes and recreational picnic comforts . The lighthouse is a cultural and historical landmark, at which many tourists indulge in both taking photos of the lighthouse and walking the trail behind the structure, where you can find a blow hole. This blow hole is created when the Atlantic and Caribbean waters slams into the rock beneath causing air to elevate through a hole in the rock, causing a hollow pitched sound and a few sprays. One attraction to this site is its proximity to Tobago, where on a clear day one can view the beautiful sister isle with immaculate clarity and ease.
