Toco marks the northeastern tip of Trinidad. You’ll find
craft and tourism projects, and a small folk museum at Toco Composite School.
There are beautiful beaches great for bathing at Salybia and Patience Bay. Turn right in the centre of
the village for Salybia Bay, a long, scenic bay, often
windswept, with surging breakers and a small fringing reef. This is a popular surfing spot
between October and April when the waves are up. There are changing rooms and
shower facilities. At the end of this side road, the Toco
Lighthouse (1897) stands on a rocky outcrop overlooking Galera Point,
and affords a view of the rocky coast shaped by wind and ocean currents, as well
as the point here the deep blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the turquoise
ones of the Caribbean Sea.
Although Toco remains sparsely populated, the numbers have grown since the olden days. The villagers of Toco are often very friendly. With its serene atmosphere and picturesque beaches, Toco remains one of the most popular surfing and vacationing spots in Trinidad and Tobago.
Hmmm ...... Very interesting indeed.
