Trinidad and Tobago Off the Beaten Path Tips by kyoub

Englishman's Bay is a secluded gorgeous beach.
It's a lovely place for a swim or a picnic.
Here the forest approaches the edge of the beach and a river runs directly into the sea.
Leatherback turtles come ashore here annually during the months of March to June to lay their eggs.
It is also a great area for birding.

Parlatuvier, is a tiny fishing village on a strikingly beautiful circular beach.

A boat trip out to St. Giles Island off the northern tip of Tobago is quite an experience.
These are a group of tiny islands and rocks comprising 72 acres, protected since 1968.
They attract flocks of magnificent frigatebirds, boobies, tropicbirds, and terns.
Landing is not encouraged so it is best to just go by slowely by boat.

I am sitting on a fallen coconut tree at Little Rockly Bay: It is lined with coconut trees, this scenic stretch runs along the old coast road, with crashing waves and stunning Atlantic views. It is near Ocean Point Hotel.
You can see Scarborough in the background.

Professor Luise Kimme, a German sculptor, lives below the village of Bethel, Tobago since 1979, where she has her studio and the Luise Kimme Sculpture Museum. Her unique Caribbean sculptures are created from native wood, often making use of the natural growth of trees and limbs.When holidaying in Tobago, a Sunday visit to the Kimme Museum is a must. There you can admire the larger than life size sculptures made from oak and cedar wood, depicting perfect portraits of the Tobago islanders.

Visiting hours: Sundays from 9.00 am - 2.00 pm. Visits at other times can be arranged per telephone ( 868) 639-0257. ( To get to the museum you pass the Mount Irvine Bay Hotel and follow the "Luise Kimme Museum" signs all the way up.)

Man -o-War Bay is a large horseshoe shaped bay that fronts the village of Charlotteville. As you come down the steep road of an evening or very early morning you may see pairs of parrots flying in front of you.
There is a super place to snorkel just a 10 minute walk and several steps down to the beach from here, at Pirate's Bay, ask a local how to find it.
If you want to explore, take a walk out to the site of the old Fort Campbell. It is left a ways.
Last but not least, if you spend the night at a guesthouse here expect to hear roosters crowing very early in the morning.

Down path to your right about a mile, then down a lot of steps, and you will be at Pirate's bay.
There you will find a nice little beach and calm water.
The perfect place to snorkle.

Go to Pidgeon Point and get aboard a glass-bottomed boat for a guided tour over the Coral Gardens with its abundant marine life. From there cruise to Buccoo Reef for an hour's snorkelling in the crystal clear waters of the reef. After the snorkelling, take a refreshing swim in the "Nylon Pool" with its shallow waters, rumoured to have life-giving properties. This is Tobago's version of the "Fountain of Youth".
