Forested Mountains

Man-O-War Bay
Charlotteville is located at the north end of Tobago. A fishing village with houses built on the side of the mountain facing Man of War Bay. The bay is shaped like a wide horseshoe and it is one of the best natural harbours in the Caribbean. It is surrounded by forested mountains which climb to heights of 1,800 feet.

Trails

As you drive down the winding road into the village you may be welcomed by a flock of squacking parrots.
Vistors to Charlotteville are mostly divers or birdwatchers.
Around the bay are seldom used roads and trails from where you can see parrots, rufous-tailed jacamars, rufous - vented chachalacas, mot-mots and ruby-topaz hummingbirds.

 I don't know how I missed these Caribbean adventures of yours! Driving yourself around in a Jeep sounds like a fun way to see Charlotteville! Looks like a great little spot in which to just relax.

 Charlotteville definitely seems to have its share of exotic birds--love its location by the bay, too!

 Man Friday Dive centre closed in May 2005. Charlotteville Adventure Dive Centre is now the only Centre operating full-time in the village.

 It's a great place for birdwatchers, I see. Do they pose for camera? I would surely try the best chicken that your husband has even eaten :-) I'd also hear locals playing music on their steel drums but maybe not at 4am :-)
