The Beaches of Tobago
The vast majority of visitors
to Tobago are seeking sun and sand. Tobago has an abundance of both and no other
Caribbean island boasts quite the same range of beaches - many largely deserted
- varying from the pristine white coral sands of the Caribbean coast to the dark
volcanic sands of the Atlantic coast.
This beautiful view is of
Castara Bay looking down from the
hills above.

Blue Waters Inn.
An ideal departure point for diving and snorkelling trips around
Little Tobago
and
Goat Island. Goat Island is privately
owned, and the Author of the James Bond novels Ian Fleming had a house here as
well as in Jamaica. Little Tobago is a bird sanctuary of international
importance, being a staging post for several breeding species of sea birds
including the red billed tropic birds who breed here in the spring. |

When travelling up the
North Side Road, Castara is the first place with direct access to a
beach. Before beginning the descent to the village, stop at the lookout point
and enjoy the spectacular view of the bay with rainforest-covered hills down to
the sea. Castara has two
beautiful golden sand beaches, both great for swimming.
Big Bay
and
Little Bay.
Coconut Bay
Effectively a private man-made
beach belonging to the Coco Reef Resort
and consisting of thousands of tons of Guyanese white river sand. The stone
outer wall forms a lagoon serving a dual purpose; it makes for a same swimming
and snorkelling area, and has attracted an ever growing colony of marine life
which is turning the stone blocks into a mini reef, giving ideal opportunities
for people to witness the miracle that is the marine habitat at close quarters.

Pigeon Point
Tobago's best-know beach can
become relatively crowded (for Tobago) being so close to main hotel area. Pigeon Point has over a mile (1.6km) of white coral sand beach edged by
palm and almond trees and protected by Buccoo Reef.
Most of the catamaran and fishing tours either start or pick up from
this pontoon, one of the most famous landmarks on Tobago. The peninsula of
Pigeon Point is privately owned and is now officially known as
Club Pigeon Point. A small entrance fee of TT$12
(US$2) is charged (children TT$6, under-fives free) for use of the beach and
facilities. |
