Other key places include Scarborough, the only city, Buccoo Bay with its sweeping palm-fringed beach, and Pirate's Bay which offers excellent snorkeling. Popular activities include visiting Fort King George and the Tobago Museum, hiking on undeveloped Little Tobago island which is an important seabird sanctuary, and relaxing on the white sand beaches at Pigeon Point.

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

tively wide range of accommodation, restaurants
, and some nightlife.

of the island.

5. Located 15 minutes’ drive east
of Crown Point, Scarborough is
the island’s 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.

6. 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.

7. Things To Do In
Tobago

8. • 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 fort’s 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.

9. 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 Pirate’s
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.

10. 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, Audubon’s
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.

11. You have to pay to get access to
Pigeon Point, the fine dining of
Tobago’s 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.
