Lifes a Beach.
In spite of the selection of beaches you can find
in Tobago to hang out on, theres so many
beautiful ones, most favorites are Grafton Beach
lining the shores of Stonehaven Bay and Turtle
Beach just a little further north on Grand
Courland Bay. Tourists are always gravitated to
these beaches because they enjoy the pounding
surf and further north from Plymouth some of the
other popular and beautiful beaches include
Englishmans Bay and the beaches at Castara.

Sunsets on TobagoGrab a Seatand Watch the FREE
S
Its a GREAT way to chill out and wrap up another
great day on the beach, relaxing and tranquil, as
the golden or fiery red ball of the sun dropped
below the horizon the sky would light up and the
clouds would take on hues of orange, pink, red,
and gold, often reflections of the color are seen
in the sea.The sunsets here apparently can be
quite spectacular as you can see so as the light
changes to signify the end of the day, grab
yourself a place to sit comfortably, a chair, a
log, or whatever you can find and wait for the
show. It really doesnt begin until the sun has
sunk below the horizon, so be patient!

ScarboroughHOT SUMMERS In the City..
Scarborough has grown over time up away from the
relatively flat waterfront and has overtaken the
surrounding hills. When youre visiting Tobago
you really need to get yourself into Scarborough,
even for a short time to look around. If for no
other reasons go to see how life goes on here in
the big city and take in the views that the
Forts hilltop provides. It does offer some
entertainment, there is a few things going on to
keep you busy for a little while.

Leatherback Turtle
Some of the beaches of Tobago are renowned for
the annual visits of these living dinosaurs and
every spring season turtles return to these
beaches to lay theyre eggs and renew its cycle
of life. The Leatherback turtle is the biggest
marine turtle in the World and its thought that
they have the most extended migratory paths of
any marine species. Some have been tracked with
the use of transmitter on paths that take them on
cross ocean journeys in both the Pacific and
Atlantic Oceans. Viewing these large creatures is
a GREAT experience thats both unique and
exciting, a phenomenon thats been in existence
for eons. If you have the opportunity to visit
Tobago when the nesting season is happening than
we would certainly recommend that you go out of
your way to investigate this event.

Get YOUR Goat Lets GO RACING!!!
Goat Racing is a MUST see event to witness when
youre visiting Tobago. There are two venues in
Tobago where you can see this spectacle and the
events are organized to happen on two consecutive
days. The MAJOR event is run at Buccoo Village on
a hundred meter track and you can view them from
the comfort of a brand new covered grandstand.
This venue is the most highly attended of the two
and goat racing itself is only a portion of the
days events with live music and food also being a
part of the days entertainment. smaller but still
unique setting of Mount Pleasant where we watched
a few races and checked out some of the food
vendors and handicrafts. As our time passed here
the crowds were growing and it was apparent that
this venue is maybe smaller than Buccoo but still
just as popular. You really need to make the time
for this if youre visiting during the Easter
period.

Rainforest
In a nutshell, Tobago has the oldest rainforest
reservation in the western hemisphere, since 1765
Tobagos big green trees and little furry animals
have been protected from the evil doers known as
humans, So, go to the middle of the island, drive
there, you'll probably get stopped on the road
and asked if you want a guide, it is advisable as
the guys are very knowledgable and very friendly,
if you don't want a guid just say so and you
won't be harassed.

Nylon Pool
Most boats offer swimming in this Nylon Pool for
30-45 minutes along with the Buccoo Reef trip.
Since the distance between these 2 will be around
150 meters. The name Nylon Pool is because of its
color. The beauty of this pool is nothing but a
natural swimming pool in the middle of the sea
with 2 to 4 feet height of water. If you rent a
boat go there little earlier, if you want to be
alone. After 1100am all the boats which starts
from Buccoo beach will be there with loads of
tourists.
