The 10 Best Free Things to do in Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago
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.

What a lovely spot to relax! We loved the breakfast there! My boyfriend had a local food breakfast (saltfish with coconut bake) which was amazing and I had pancakes with a local twist! De-licious! The staff is super friendly, too. The cook came to our table after breakfast to talk to us! Went back there a few days later for drinks and a snack: the tuna and cheese panini was to die for! Plus, there’s a little shop inside and a lovely art gallery on the second floor! Definitely worth checking out!!

A crowded southern Tobago beach that is popular with tourists.

This is a great beach - great snorkelling to the left end, and the Anchor Bar has great food and a great local vibe! Highly recommend a visit here! There is a machineel tree to the right end, but still nice to walk down that way looking for beachy treasure.

Although one of Tobago's more pristine and less crowded beaches, Pirate's Bay has the rougher waters typical of most northeastern beaches on the island.
Reviewed By baghm - Springfield, United States
Long treck uphill if you're walking, but a short drive up a not good track by car. The views are worth it, before you even get to the steps and path. Beach had a few people there, but not many! Lots of sailboats in the harbor, and we watched those with dingy's coming into Charlottesville. Wonderful place, and worth the drive. Odd, though, that there is a fire hydrant in the middle of nowhere. There is a small turn around for cars, but be cautious!

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.

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!

A quiet sprawling beach with clear green water and caramel sand for which Tobagonian beaches are known. Great for long walks, swimming, beach sports and most of all enjoying the sunset

The beach had a life guard. Everyone was friendly. Good local food from the restaurants. Fresh air from the rain forest close by. Can't beat Pirate's Bay if you are searching for a secluded beach. Plenty of birds around and saw quite a few Mot Mots and parrots.

Reviewed By gabriele2bago - Buccoo, Caribbean
Great views of Tobago coast line! Is largest fortification in Tobago. Dated 1777, British, then captured by the French in 1781 and renamed Fort Castries. British reoccupied it again in 1793. Was damaged by the hurricane in 1847 (roof all buildings blown off). Among the ten (of the original 30) structures, can recognize the officer's mess (Georgian military arhitecture), the powder magazine (made with volcanic stone), the Bell shape water tank, commander's residence, military hospital, the prison and the cemetery. One mortar and cannons (eighteen, nine and six pounders) are on site between the inner and the outer Fort area. On the cannons can recognize the double-rose emblem if the Tudors and the GR mark. The Scarborough Museum collection is available to visitors and will give you a lot of details of Tobago History. Few modern structures have been built inside the fort complex: the more noticable is the lighthouse. FORT KING GEORGE IS PART OF EUROCHAMTT HISTORICAL ITINERARIES at LA TARTARUGA ITALIAN RESTAURANT, BUCCOO BAY.
