Itinerary description
It starts/ends at the concrete Fond Pois Doux Road on the North Coast road which offers panoramic views of Port of Spain, Maraval and the Caribbean Sea. The road goes upward until Mal D'Estomac road which goes downhill steeply before plunging into the pristine forest until reaching the base of the hill, Paragrant Bay (Mal D'Estomac Bay); a relatively sheltered, quaint, untouched bay perfect for a soak in the waters. There is a small stream where you can get some fresh water to drink or wash face. At the eastern end of the beach there is another stream and the pathway up the steep, winding concrete road to return to Fond Pois Doux road, a succession of steep hills that steals the breath from most hikers until you reach the top.
Paragrant Bay a challenge fit for a real hiker.
