About

In Trinidad, Kathy's kool spot is a convenience store at 810398, 4342 Naparima Mayaro Rd in Mayaro, on the island's south-eastern coast.

It is known as a local stop for everyday goods, and its 4 out of 5 average across 51 reviews reflects a steady following in the area. First-time visitors should expect a small, practical shop serving the surrounding community rather than a large retail outlet. Mayaro sits well south-east of San Fernando, with Port of Spain, Arima and Chaguanas all further away to the north and west, and Scarborough across the water on Tobago.

The Naparima Mayaro Rd runs through Mayaro, giving the store a position on the main route through the area. Maracas Bay, Las Cuevas and Blanchisseuse lie along Trinidad's northern coast, a different stretch of the island from this south-eastern corner.

Caribbean cooking commonly combines rice, plantain and saltfish with Scotch bonnet and other hot peppers, and fish, lobster and conch are often stewed or grilled with lime. Carnival parades are held across the Caribbean, some before Lent and others in the summer months. Green and hawksbill turtles nest on Caribbean beaches, and coral reefs support reef fish and spiny lobster.
