Nestled in the northeastern coast of Trinidad, pillowed by verdant vegetation on land and blanketed by the surf of the Caribbean Sea, is the coastal community of Matelot.
On land, it’s accessible by a single, winding road flanked by forest on one side and coastline vistas on the other.
Matelot, the French word for sailor, like most communities along the coast, can also be accessed by boat from the sea. Long ago, goods came to the community from “steamers” and landed by the river mouth, Shark River.
