What to do and see in Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago: The Best Things to do
The smaller half of Trinidad and Tobago, the 116-square mile island is a top eco-tourism destination. Its rainforest has been protected since 1776. Kayak through mangrove swamps, mountain bike testing trails in the island's northeast, drift dive with manta rays and sharks, hike the Rainforest Reserve or take in the distinctive Tobago pursuits of goat and crab racing. Cars, taxis and "maxi taxi" minibuses make it easy to get around the island. Carnival sees this exuberant island at its most extroverted.
Restaurants in Tobago
1. Pigeon Point Beach
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,258 reviews
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.)

Established in 1763 to combat European deforestation of the island, this was the Western Hemisphere's first forest reserve.

We met Fitzroy at the Forest Reserve Centre. He took us in a brilliant walk through the forest . His enthusiasm was contagious.. his knowledge of the wildlife and birds in particular was incredible. A bird watchers delight. He also was informative about Tobago and the politics around the island. His passion and knowledge of cricket was fantastic. After the walk we went to his niece house for a lovely home cooked meal. Some of the best food this holiday. Throughly recommend Fitzroy Quamina.

Lovely location to take the family for a nice walk in nature where you can see lovely flora and fauna in all it's glory. The hummingbirds, fish pond and local animals were lovely to see and discover as you walk around. My son particularly loved feeding the fish which are quite big. The eco-villas are also very charming for if you wanted to spend some time in Tobago where you could feel at one with nature. They are nestled in the heart of the nature reserve and are very nicely built and furnished to make anyone feel at home. The owners are also very friendly and welcoming, even the pet dog:) Very tranquil location to relax and de-stress in nature!

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.
5. 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!
6. 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.

A 20 minute easy hike to the waterfalls. I suggest you go in sneakers with good grip and with the Waterfall tour guide (Tony). If you are adventureous, you can hike further up the falls but advise that you do that in groups with more than 5 persons. Very peaceful and serene.

This popular southern Tobago beach is almost always packed with tourists.

The beach is very nice but the shopping stalls and food court is what makes it unique. Really enjoyed our time there and bought some local crafts.

One of many fort locations around Tobago. Each has their own unique history, and the views are always magnificent. Tobago has such a unique and varied history, and I'm extremely lucky to have been able to visit! This one is small but lovely and serene. Unique entry. Not sure if there was REALLY parking, but we parked on the street, and no one said anything, including the man on duty. There were only a couple of people here. Close to the airport, end of runway..
