Tobago’s weather is quite similar to most other Caribbean islands, with temperatures mainly occupying the mid to high twenties. On particularly hot days, Tobago’s weather creeps into the thirties, although the breeze keep the climate manageable.
Tobago’s high season falls between December and May, when the weather is dry. The island’s rainy season lasts from July to November. As Tobago lies just south of the Atlantic hurricane belt, extreme storms and hurricanes are rare.
Tobago’s majestic beaches, wide-ranging wildlife, warm weather and captivating colonial heritage make it an ideal location for your dream holiday. The island of Trinidad is also just a stone's throw away, should you wish to do a little island hopping during your time here.
One of the best beach experiences in the whole of the Caribbean has to be at Tobago’s Pigeon Point.
After paying the minimal entry charge and making your way through the surrounding palm trees, you are sure to be left completely breathless by the captivating view.
Old fishing huts have been transformed into restaurants and watering holes, while lifeguards keep an eye on you throughout the day which adds an extra level of safety to proceedings.
If you a seeking a taste of paradise, Pigeon Point is the place to find it.
Another great beach that is slightly off the beaten track is Englishman’s Bay.
How long this remains the case is in question, though, as visitors to Tobago are picking up on this secluded gem, which offers gorgeous greenery and golden sands.
If you’re looking to find Englishman’s Bay you need to be on the leeward coast of Tobago, between Castara and Parlatuvier.
It may not be the busiest beach in Tobago, but it is arguably one of the most beautiful.
A beach that is a little easier to find is Store Bay, in Crown Point. This golden stretch of sand is close to a number of hotels and even the airport.
Here you’ll find plenty of water sports and boat trips, while you can even try some curried crab on one of the cleanest beaches in the country.
Again, lifeguards are in action, so it’s great for families with children.
