Radical Sports<br />
(wind surfing, kite boarding)<br />
Those who prefer wind or kitesurfing can<br />
visit Radical Water Sports, Tobago’s only<br />
professional windsurf and water sports center.<br />
The center is the perfect pit-stop for beginners<br />
and advanced surfers alike as it is located on<br />
the northern tip of the world-famous Pigeon<br />
Point Heritage Park which is protected by<br />
the Buccoo Reef, making it ideal for all levels<br />
of windsurfers. One side the beach faces<br />
the Nylon Pool lagoon where beginners can<br />
learn their techniques, while less than 100<br />
yards away the beach on the leeward side is<br />
sheltered and unaffected by wind, making it<br />
excellent for swimming and sunbathing and an<br />
ideal location for those with non-windsurfers<br />
in the family. For more information, visit<br />

Nylon Pool<br />
A veritable tranquil paradise in the ocean, Nylon<br />
Pool was given the name by Princess Margaret<br />
after her visit there in 1962, who thought the<br />
water was as clear as her nylon stockings.<br />
This unique feature of the reef complex allows<br />
swimmers to enjoy their own private swimming<br />
pool. Depths are no greater than 7-10 feet at<br />
high tides. Local folklore promises that a swim<br />
in the waters of the Nylon Pool will make you<br />
look five years younger.<br />
Pigeon Point<br />
Located on the leeward side of Tobago,<br />
Pigeon Point is perhaps the island’s best sea<br />
and land encounter with over 1600 meters of<br />
white sand. The islands most famous beach<br />
can boast of powdery white sand and leaning<br />
coconut palms. Located on a private coconut<br />
estate, the small admission fee entitles you<br />
to use of the beaches facilities. There is a<br />
gift shop, washroom/ showers, snack shop<br />
and entertainment stand. One of the most<br />
memorable landmarks of Tobago is the little<br />
coconut palm covered shelter at the end of<br />
the jetty. Pigeon point is also a popular fishing<br />
destination, offering a number of different<br />
game fish throughout the year.
