It has white coral sand leading into the calm turquoise water, all surrounded by coconut trees swaying in the gentle breeze.
It is protected by the Bucco Reef which makes the water shallow and great for swimming and snorkeling. Many other water sports are offered here to make the active beach goer quite busy and happy. It is also quite populated with restaurants, bars, shops, and craft stalls, as well as restroom amenities to make for a hassle-free beach trip.
Depending on which port your cruise ship docks, Pigeon Point is one of the Tobago beaches that is near the western cruise dock.

Englishman’s Bay
Englishman’s Bay is a quiet beach is surrounded by a dense forest and seems completely secluded. This is the perfect spot to relax in a natural setting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. This is the best beach in Tobago for solitude.

Castara Bay
Castera Bay has a set of two basic beaches in a tiny fishing village. The choice is Little Bay (aka Heavenly Bay) or Big Bay, but they are both good choices. The empty white sand beach is worth the drive if seclusion is what you desire. The water is calm for swimming and snorkeling. However, there aren’t too many amenities located at either location.

RICE: Entrance is FREE
TOURS: None
FACILITIES: not much

Store Bay
This beach is located in a convenient location near the Tobago airport. It is a small beach, but probably the most popular and busiest due to its location. It has calm, clear water and is patrolled by lifeguards. There are numerous glass-bottom boat tours leaving from this location, as well as dive shops to set you up to see some underwater beauty. There are a lot of shopping booths with crafts, like handmade jewelry, and food, including local sweets like tamarind balls and sugar cake.
LOCATION: Crown Point, Tobago beach near AIRPORT
PRICE: Entrance is FREE
TOURS: Glass Bottom Boats and Diving
FACILITIES: Restrooms, changing rooms, food, beach chairs / umbrellas, lifeguards

Pirate’s Bay Beach
Since Tobago was a favorite stop for 17th-century pirates, of course, there should be a Pirates Bay Beach on the island of Tobago! This secluded beach can only be reached by boat (or on foot, it is a 15-minute walk from Charlotteville and then down a million steps). A local fisherman will be thrilled to take you on the 5-minute ride to Pirates Beach.
Once you have found this little piece of heaven with its soft sand and crystal clear water, you are likely to be the only visitor! This seems like it could be one of the private beaches in Tobago!! In fact, this paradise was used in filming the movie Robinson Crusoe in 1952.
LOCATION: Northern Coast – furthest from the airport
PRICE: FREE, except boat transport fee (~40 TTD, $6 USD)
TOURS: none
FACILITIES: none
