Pirates Bay
No longer a safe harbor for marauding buccaneers, Pirate’s Bay now serves as one of Tobago’s most treasured beaches with calm, clear waters that are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Once featured extensively in the original 1952 Robinson Crusoe movie, the bay is now a haven for beach-goers who prefer to experience nature in her wild and untouched state. Accessible by boat or via a few dozen steps, the mere act of getting to Pirate’s Bay is an adventure in and of itself. A word of warning though: do not drive up the narrow track as it does not accommodate two lane traffic. Instead, make the walk or hire a fishing boat from the jetty to get you there.
Man-o-War Bay
A gorgeous bay located in the eastern village of Charlotteville, Man-o-War Bay is 1.6 km of multi-colored sand and clear, calm waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Ideal for fishing, the beach is also home to popular events such as the annual Fisherman’s Fete, the Tobago Heritage Festival, traditional seine pulling, the Boating Regatta and international Fishing Tournament. Manned by lifeguards and equipped with various amenities, it’s a good all-day beach option.
Lover's Bay
Aptly named due to the fact that this little beach is perfect for two, Lover’s Bay is a magically romantic spot that is accessible only by boat. Gorgeous, clear waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling conditions and, while there are no amenities on this miniature stretch of coastline, that’s exactly what you want on a truly off-the-grid escape with your better half.
Hermitage Bay
An off-the-beaten path destination perfect for adventure-seekers, Hermitage Bay is not for the average beach goer. Getting there requires a little effort, either by means of a hike through the forest or by boat. True nirvana will greet those who make the trek with a pristine stretch of coastline and perfect swimming and snorkelling conditions.
Batteaux Bay
Stunning sapphire waters boarded by lush vegetation make Batteaux Bay a picturesque beach destination. Home of the Blue Waters Inn, this 250m bay offers ideal swimming conditions with water sports activities available for patrons of the hotel. A base for both scuba diving and glass bottom boat tours, Batteaux Bay offers a wide range of amenities, including a beachfront restaurant and cozy hammocks for relaxing on shore.
Kings Bay
Coconut trees line the powder soft sand and clear, calm waters of King’s Bay, making it a scenic spot for sunbathing, as well as an ideal destination for swimming and snorkeling. Beachgoers have access to a range of amenities including restroom facilities, showers, cabanas and lifeguards. A popular place to purchase fresh fish, this beach in Delaford is also a great location to witness fisherman pulling seine.
