10 Things to do in Trinidad and Tobago That You Shouldn't Miss

November 6, 2021 Franklyn Hardiman

This tiny twin island republic offers an enticing mix of cultural activities and eco adventure. Located just off the tip of Venezuela, lively Trinidad, the larger of the two, boasts energetic nightlife in modern capital Port-of-Spain. Driving on the North Coast Road reveals lush forest and breathtaking views. Tobago, two hours away by fast ferry, is comparatively serene. Azure seas contrast with pale pink sands and golden sunsets. Protected rainforest and stunning coral reefs complete this paradise.

Pigeon Point Beach

Tobago's most popular beach. Located in the south west of the island. It is easily accessible from the airport and many hotels. A host of activities makes it easy to spend an entire day at the facility and still have all your needs met. A variety of restaurants, bars, water sports and shopping awaits you. Or just relax at the beach which is patrolled by life guards. Pigeon Point Heritage Park features an iconic thatch roof jetty that is reminiscent of an unspoilt Caribbean and relaxed way of life. Lose yourself in the beauty of the park and then find yourself in the serenity of your surroundings. A must do while you are in Tobago.

Spent a day on Pigeon Point Beach. Loved it. The sand is like powder, the colour of the water is an incredible turquoise blue, there are great washroom facilities (all included in the park entrance fee), and great places to eat/drink. I HIGHLY recommend spending some time at Pigeon Point. You can also take glass-bottom boat tours from the pier out to the reef for snorkeling and to Nylon Pool and No Man’s Land. (We did that on a separate day and loved it.)

Maracas Beach

This popular beach spot fulfills the fantasy of the ideal Caribbean beach, but is just as famous for the scenic rainforest drive that must be made to reach it.

Always a blast. The most popular beach on the island. It's absolutely beautiful. Go for a walk, have something to eat, dance all under the watchful eyes of the skilled life guards. Just go, you won't regret it.

Castara Bay

Reviewed By sagaciouss

I love this beach for a nice soak even though it’s used mainly for the fisherfolk. Take a walk all the way down on the left for the best bathing spot. Water was calm enough for a relaxing bath, no fighting with the waves at all. I liked the well kept beach facilities was able to shower before taking the long drive back to Magdelena.

Asa Wright Nature Centre

This small resort, buried among mountains deep in the Trinidad rain forest, is famous for its amazing diversity in animal and plant species.

Reviewed By KristaTheNetherlands - Zeewolde, The Netherlands

Excellent place for bird watching and other wildlife. From the veranda of the main house, you will see all kind of hummingbirds and other birds. Walk down the trail and you will see even more. It’s an easy hike. Rangers will tell you all about the birds. Informative panels will also help you out. They also have accomodation available. Make sure you drive down the hill before sunset as it’s a steapy road.

Englishman's Bay

A mysteriously uncrowded beach that is great for swimming and snorkeling.

Reviewed By DavidjGU26 - Grayshott, United Kingdom

We returned to Englishman's Bay after 10 years, and it didn't disappoint. The idyllic picture of a Caribbean bay beach, and very few people. A few more than last time, but still peaceful and beautiful. We spent several hours, and enjoyed a local lunch, while avoiding a sharp shower. We swam in the sea, and enjoyed watching pelicans fishing for more than an hour. The drive up from Crown Point in the south was worth the effort, occasionally exciting on the road, including getting slightly lost a couple of times. Road signs and direction indicators are a rarity on Tobago. Be adventurous and go to Englishman's Bay!

Nylon Pool

The island's livliest beach.

Reviewed By nomadalessio

Hi! recounting our experience sailing in Nylon Pool, make us yearn to want to return to that place. Sailing in not very deep waters, you arrive at a place where we get off the boat and we smear with white sands known for their rejuvenating properties. Celestial waters and that feeling of freedom walking near the boat is unspeakable !! Totally recommended with other wonderful places like, Pigeon Point, Englishman Bay, etc, etc . Quite different from other Caribbean island, Tobago is magic holidays anywhere you go.

Las Cuevas Beach

Reviewed By CeliaPR - Bowie, United States

I was able to compare both the popular Maracas Bay (MB) and Las Cuevas Beach (LCB) - about five miles beyond. LCB is much calmer, the water clearer and ideal for swimming. MB has more active waves and you need to be a strong swimmer to handle the currents. MB has more facilities and eatery options and is clearly the more popular hangout.
