Trinidad and Tobago...Exploring Tobago!

Trinidad's sister isle, Tobago is home to some of the world's most beautiful beaches and coral reefs! It is definitely a vacation destination to completely surrender yourself to the warmth of the Caribbean. Let's explore this beautiful island!

1. Pigeon Point

Pigeon Point beach remains one of the most popular beaches on the island and should definitely be on your checklist when visiting Tobago! Unwind on this beautiful beach whilst sipping on a cocktail or beastly cold beer available from one of the many beach bars or satisfy your hunger and enjoy the popular Tobago delicacies Crab and Dumpling or Curry Conch! As a Trini, there is nothing like relaxing in Pigeon Point and appreciating the beauty of the sister isle!





2. Buccoo Reef and Nylon Pool

The Buccoo Reef is the largest coral reef on the island and definitely the most frequently visited! You can book an excursion tour on a glass bottom boat at Store Bay or Pigeon Point. The reef boasts a vast and spectacular array of vibrantly coloured aquatic life; sea turtles, parrot fishes, angel fishes and 40 species of corals. On a tour through the Buccoo Reef, the boats usually stop off at the world famous Nylon Pool, an offshore sandbar which has formed a beautiful, clear pool in the middle of the ocean.






3. Argyle Falls

Take a short 15 minutes hike to visit this stunning three-tiered waterfall and swim in the pools at its base! The Argyle Falls is a popular site to check out when you're vacationing in Tobago! In my visit to these falls I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, the falls are indeed beautiful! Have you visited?




4. Fort King George

This beautiful historic fort is well preserved and is a strong reminder of Tobago's colonial past. The Fort was built by the British but changes many hands over time before finally being reclaimed once again by its first owners. Fort King George stands above Scarborough majestically over looking the Caribbean Sea and includes a Museum on its compound displaying artefacts from its Amerinidian heritage and colonial pasts.





5. Charlotteville

This quaint fishing village is situated on the eastern point of the island and follows a winding road with beautiful scenery along its route! It's bay is quiet but beautiful with fishing pirogues jotting the background. A trip to Charlotteville definitely makes a nice road trip but as long as you're there don't miss the opportunity to discover Pirate's Bay. A track is situated at the base of the fishing village and requires a 15 minutes walk to the beach! The walk may be a little daunting but the views along the trail is spectacular and Pirate's Bay is truly a treasure!






6. Nightlife

If you're looking for nightlife activities Tobago is no different from it's sister isle, Trinidad. There are many options available, en route to Pigeon Point, take a stop and enjoy a drink at Bago's Bar while listening to the waves crashing in the background, absolutely beautiful! At Store Bay/Pigeon Point junction, bar hop at Jade Monkeys and the nearby bars around. Tobago is an isle of great vibes! If you're looking for a night of pumping, the Shades nightclub is a definite stop, where the vibes continues all night with the music by its talented DJs.
