Unspoiled Tobago
Steeped in history and particularly in the events that most shaped the region as a whole, Tobago offers the perfect combination of Caribbean culture, the natural world and exotic, palm-fringed beach holiday. Measuring just 41 kilometres x 14 kilometres the visual contrasts of the East Coast, washed by the dark green, wave-whipped Atlantic and lined with vibrant fishing villages, against the West Coast with its smooth, palm lined beaches, are extraordinary.
Within the island the northern landscape of the interior rises steeply into tall peaks and rolling hillocks, providing shelter for the Western Hemispheres oldest protected rain forest with its extraordinary catalogue of exotic species and breath-taking flora and fauna.
Of all the major Caribbean Islands Tobago, is one of the least commercialized. As such it appeals to the traveler perhaps who avoids commercialism and development whilst it still offers the civility and warmth proffered by the people of the Caribbean generally.
Purported to be the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe and Treasure Island Tobago’s beaches are spared the backdrop of tower-block hotels, and instead are fringed with palm trees whilst sporting the whitest possible sand. Snorkelling and scuba diving will reveal the most colourful and exotic fish and swimming amongst turtles brings its own joy. Manta rays, angelfish and exotic birds abound.
Visitors must try one of the numerous sailing or glass bottom boat tours, many of which include a break at the beautiful Nylon Pool, so called by Princess Margaret during her honeymoon on the island in 1960. Swimming there will become a treasured memory.
Tobago offers fine dining for every palate and in the most beautiful locations; or choose fine dining Tobago-style with roti or curried crab and dumplings from as little as $4 a head. And no visitor can possibly miss Sunday School although rather than prayer and bible readings this version is Tobagos hottest weekend music and dance festival, located at Buccoo Beach.
Tobago provides the perfect backdrop to whatever activity you may have mastered or wish to embrace. No matter how skilled you may be, it will always be remembered as a unique experience set against this glorious backdrop that seeks nothing in return other than your appreciation.
The perfect foil to bustling Trinidad, Tobago is a true jewel of the Caribbean, whose sparkle will live in your memory long after you have left her shores.
