Introduction to Tobago
Unlike bustling Trinidad, Tobago is
sleepy, and Trinidadians come here, especially on weekends, to enjoy
the wide, sandy beaches. The legendary home of Daniel Defoe's
Robinson Crusoe, Tobago is only 43km (27 miles) long and 12km (7 1/2
miles) wide. The people are hospitable and their tiny villages seem
to blend in with the landscape.
The island's villagelike capital and main port,
Scarborough, lies on the southern coast. Surrounded by mountains, its bay
provides a scenic setting, but the town itself is rather plain. Most of the
shops are clustered in streets around the local market.
Additional Information about travel to Tobago
|
Tobago is 32km (20 miles) northeast of Trinidad, to which it's connected by
frequent flights. Long known as a honeymooner's paradise, Tobago's idyllic
natural beauty makes it one of the greatest escapes in the Caribbean. It has
forests of breadfruit, mango, cocoa, and citrus through which a
chartreuse-colored iguana will suddenly dart. It's for those who like a
generous dose of sand, sun, and solitude in a mellow atmosphere. Snorkelers
especially will find plenty to entertain them.
