00:00 Whether you're heading to the pristine waters of Las Cuevas or soaking up the sun at Maracas
00:07 Bay, stopping by the Maracas Lookout should be a top priority.
00:13 Besides taking in the picturesque landscape, you can also check out the commercial boots.
00:18 Cruise ship season is one of the busiest times for the entrepreneurs, who agree that the
00:23 location is the perfect invitation for customers.
00:27 One of the entrepreneurs, Andy of Andy's Handcrafts, said he has been selling for the past 26 years.
00:34 His love for the craft is what sparked the business idea.
00:38 He added that both local and international visitors frequent his booth throughout the
00:43 year.
00:44 It's not about everyday, it's about selling or making money.
00:49 Sometimes it's just showcasing your stuff, seeing people amazed at the things that you
00:54 can actually do.
00:55 For instance, this is made from a coconut, a whole actual coconut.
01:01 Try to get a little bit of everything, especially when it comes to representing a country where
01:08 white and black.
01:09 The lookout is also the ideal location for taking a photo.
01:13 Entrepreneur Devon Lewis has been operating an instant photo service at the lookout since
01:18 2017.
01:20 He said it's a joy to help visitors create precious memories.
01:25 Currently, I operate a photo booth service, whereby first I meet, greet any visitors that
01:31 come visit.
01:32 I introduce my product, or my service I should say.
01:36 I invite you guys to have a photo done on the wonderful view that overlooks the Maracas
01:41 Bay, the Caribbean Sea.
01:44 Display the flora and fauna, I guess, on the island.
01:47 I've met customers that say, "Boy, I have a whole photo wall, all yours.
01:52 I did my first print with my newborn."
01:55 Fun memories right there at the lookout.
01:57 One returning national told us that the Borode event in Point 14 this weekend is what prompted
02:03 her visit.
02:04 What prompted me to come back?
02:06 Borode.
02:07 Just to stay with some family and find friends and just enjoy home.
02:13 And then wondering why did my mother take me.
02:17 Sitting down with my children and telling them about Lajables and Sukunya and the whole
02:22 nine yards and show them what we just do.
02:24 Today I decided, I woke up, I was like, "We're going."
02:28 So I jump in the car and here I am.
02:31 I was scared to come out when I see, you know, and I was like, "Come on, let me go."
02:40 If you're heading out to the North Coast this weekend, be sure to take a moment and enjoy
02:44 the breathtaking views the Maracas Lookout offers.
