Things to Do  

Botanical Gardens

Botanical Gardens, Scarborough

 kyoub Says:  The botanical gardens is located near the highway and is little more than a public park where the locals come to relax. There are several very large tropical trees to admire here. 

Lighthouse

Lighthouse, Scarborough

 kyoub Says:  The lighthouse at the fort has a lead crystal Fresnel lens that can throw a beam 50km out to sea using just a 3000-watt light. If you have an interest in old lighthouses the lightkeeper will probably show you around.

Fort King George, Scarborough

 kyoub Says:  This fort is well worth a visit for both its historical significance and its lovely coastal views.Canons line the old stone walls and many of the historic buildings have been restored.There is a small museum with displays of Tobago's colonial history.

 DSwede Says:  While Scarborough may be the capital, it is not where most tourists would want to stay.Most tourist-friendly businesses, restaurants, hotels, etc. are in nearby Crown Point. Scarborough would be recommended as a day trip from there.
