Introducing Tobago (1)

Description:

Tobago has everything you’d expect from a Caribbean island, with palm trees and white sand aplenty, yet it’s relatively unchanged by the tourist industry. Combined, this twin-island republic offers unparalleled bird-watching, first-class diving, luxuriant rain-forests prime for hiking, waterfall swimming and cycling, and electric nightlife, with the fabulous Carnival easily the biggest and best of the region’s annual blowouts. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Introducing Tobago
  • Tiny Tobago (just 42km across) slouches in a deck
    chair with a beer in hand watching its
    crystalline waters shimmer in the sun. Though
    Tobago is proud of its rainforest, fantastic
    dive sites, stunning aquamarine bays and nature
    reserves. Choose between plush ocean-side hotels
    or tiny guesthouses in villages.

Places In Tobago
4
Crown Point
  • Spread over Tobagos southwest tip, Crown Point
    is the islands tourist epicenter, offering a
    relatively wide range of accommodation,
    restaurants, and some nightlife.
  • The attractive beaches and extensive services
    make many tourists stay put, but anyone wanting a
    deeper appreciation of Tobagos charms should
    plan to push eastward to explore other parts of
    the island.

Scarborough
Located 15 minutes drive east of Crown Point,
Scarborough is the islands only city, a crowded
port with bustling one-way streets and congested
traffic. Locals come here to bank, pay bills or
go shopping, and though there are some good
places to grab a bite and a neat public market,
most visitors will want to push onward.

Buccoo
Though its narrow strip of white sand is
monopolized by fishing boats at the village end,
Buccoo's sweeping palm-backed bay is pretty
spectacular, though it's more a place to hang out
or take a horse ride than throw down your towel.

Things To Do In Tobago
8
Fort King George
  • Atop a hill at the end of Fort St, this sizable
    fort was built by the British between 1777 and
    1779, and is worth a visit to see its restored
    colonial-era buildings and magnificent views.
    Benches under enormous saaman trees allow you to
    gaze out over Scarborough bay, while cannons line
    the forts stone walls, pointing out to sea over
    palm-covered flatlands below.
  • The officers quarters now contain the small but
    worthy Tobago Museum , which displays a healthy
    collection of Amerindian artifacts, maps from the
    1600s, military relics, a small geology exhibit.

Pirates Bay
Walk to the north end of the village, and take
the dirt track winding up and around the cliff,
and a 10-minute walk brings you to the top of the
concrete steps that descend to Pirates Bay,
which offers excellent snorkeling and fantastic
beach liming, with locals and visitors making a
day of it with coolers and games of beach
football.

Little Tobago (Paradise Island)
Also known as Bird of Paradise Island (though it
isn't home to any of the eponymous birds), Little
Tobago was the site of a cotton plantation during
the late 1800s, and is now an important seabird
sanctuary that offers rich pickings for
bird-watchers. Red-billed tropic birds,
magnificent frigate birds, brown boobies,
Audubons shearwaters, laughing gulls and sooty
terns are some of the species found here. The
hilly, arid island, which averages just 1.5km in
width, has a couple of short hiking trails with
captivating views.

Pigeon Point
You have to pay to get access to Pigeon Point,
the fine dining of Tobagos beaches, with
landscaped grounds, bars, restaurants, toilets
and showers spread along plenty of beachfront.
The postcard-perfect, palm-fringed beach has
powdery white sands and milky aqua water around
the headland, the choppy waters are perfect for
wind- and kite-surfing with Radical Watersports.
