The North Deck

Just 25 minutes from Port of Spain, on the road to Maracas Bay and fringing on the mountain district of Paramin is the unique and spectacular North Deck.

This is a cantilevered observation platform of some 7,500 square feet that extends out over a heavily wooded hillside, sloping down to the sea and the unspoiled shoreline of the Trinidadian North Coast.

The deck is designed to accommodate several of the large rainforest trees that grow up from the forest floor through a series of strategically placed holes in its surface. This gives the impression that the platform itself is set in the treetops and forms part of the canopy. The entire structure is backed by a thick growth of ferns and flowering bushes.

The North Deck is accessed via a well constructed, if somewhat steep, concrete surfaced road that is the original Fond Pois Doux road, which is a French phrase meaning "a gathering area for sweet peas". This brings you to the doorstep of the North Deck. Cocoa and coffee were once grown here; a relic of that time can be seen in the old cocoa house still standing on the hillside.

From the deck's rim, approximately 1800 feet above sea level, there is a magnificent view looking northward to the island of Grenada with the unspoiled rainforest running down to a wild shoreline broken by the lovely, untouched Paragon Beach. Just offshore Saut D'Eau island, a rocky outcrop that is the roosting place for a large population of seabirds including pelicans and gulls. On a clear day one can see as far as our sister island of Tobago to the northeast.

Facilities:

When you walk through the entrance you are greeted by a 5000 sq. ft. open deck area with a covered gazebo and stunning north coast views. On the same level are washroom areas for both male and female, each with one regular and one wheel chair accessible facility.

On the lower level you'll find 2500 sq. ft. of covered area, 24 four-seater tables, and our on-site kitchen equipped with professional amenities including stainless steel surfaces. The lower level is also accessible to wheel chairs.

The deck receives power from T&TEC, is supported by a back up generator, and has running water.
