Things to Do  

Birding in Tobago..

Birding in Tobago.., Tobago

 Greggor58 Says:  Tobago is known as an international destination for viewing exotic birds and you can see some of the many species that inhabit or pass through here either by guided tour or simply by chance as you explore the countryside or beaches. Even just hanging on the porch at Jemmas I... 

Life’s a Beach..

Life’s a Beach.., Tobago

 Greggor58 Says:  In spite of the selection of beaches you can find in Tobago to hang out on…there’s so many beautiful ones, my favorites are Grafton Beach lining the shores of Stonehaven Bay and Turtle Beach just a little further north on Grand Courland Bay. I suppose that I’ve always...

Sunsets on Tobago…Grab a Seat…and Watch the FREE S, Tobago

Shore Things...: GREAT Hospitality and a VIEW to MATCH..., Tobago

 Greggor58 Says:  Shore Things is a really cool little experience overlooking the waters of Little Rockley Bay in a community named Lambeau, just a short drive from Scarborough. The exterior of the business from the road is maybe a little ambiguous but once you walk through the doors you’ll...

D' Corner Cafe: Good local food & cheap too, Tobago

 DSwede Says:  The small restaurant has a few tables, but is just as frequently used as a take-away restaurant by locals.There is a small buffet-style display case of vegetables and sides. Point to what you want and the staff will serve it up.As for the main dishes of chicken, fish, steak,...

Ram’s Taxi Service.., Tobago

Crown Point International Airport...TAB.

Crown Point International Airport...TAB., Tobago

 Greggor58 Says:  You won’t get lost using this small International Airport located at Crown Point on the south end of Tobago. Its not hard to figure out and there are FEW conveniences to be had here. There’s not an over abundance of shops to pick up last minute gifts or snacks so don’t...

Shopping  

Penny Savers Supermarket: Self-catering holiday needs

Penny Savers Supermarket: Self-catering holiday needs, Tobago

 DSwede Says:  In Tobago, I think your best option will be the "Penny Savers Supermarket" in Canaan. While other markets may have some decent things at good prices, Penny Savers is the largest and therefore will offer the widest selection and typically the most economical price. Penny... 

Beach Vendors are a FACT of Life…

Beach Vendors are a FACT of Life…, Tobago
