Beaches:
our top 20
YYou can hardly go wrong with beaches in
Tobago. A good rule of thumb: the further
north you go, the quieter the beaches become.
Here are our top 20, grouped by region.
(For even more, visit our website!)
Crown Point
Canoe Bay (entrance fee): off Milford Rd, perhaps
Tobago’s calmest, shallowest bathing beach, perfect for
young families. Facilities include a bar and cabanas
Pigeon Point ($20 entrance fee): white coral sand with
calm, warm and shallow waters protected by Buccoo
Reef. Great swimming and snorkelling, and facilities that
include cabanas, bar and restaurant, and several on-site
water-sports providers (surfing, kite-surfing, wind-surfing,
paddle-boarding, kayaking etc). Glass-bottom boat tours
start here for the Reef and Nylon Pool. Make sure to take
a photo or a selfie (or wefie) in the little thatched cabana
at the end of the much-photographed jetty!
Store Bay: a stone’s throw from the airport, this small,
shadeless beach — cupped by small coral cliffs — is
one of the most popular (and busy) beaches in Tobago.
Glass-bottom boats often leave twice daily for tours to
Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool. Great for swimming,
and snorkelling under coral cliffs at the southern end,
with excellent craft shopping, food stalls, and changing
rooms (small fee).
