Welcome to Tobago on the Paradise
Islands website. Tobago
is the smaller island of
the Republic of Trinidad
and Tobago (together
with 21 smaller
islands). Tobago lies
just north of
Trinidad and south
east of
Grenada in the
southern Caribbean
Windward island chain. |
|
Tobago is
just over one hundred
square miles (26 miles
long and 6 miles wide)
with a population of
just over 50,000. The
capital is Scarborough
where 17,000 of the
island's inhabitants
live. As part of the
Republic of Trinidad and
Tobago it has been
independent since 1976. |
|
Tobago is
a volcanic island with a
line of small mountains
running down the centre
of the island with the
highest point being
Pigeon Peak near
Speyside at 1,800 feet.
The south east of the
island is largely flat. |
|
Tourism
is more important in
Tobago than it is to
Trinidad's economy. The
main tourist area is in
the south east of the
island and include Crown
Point, Pigeon Point (one
of the finest beaches in
the world), Store Bay
and Bucco Reef. Tobago
has many fine beaches
including Castara,
Englishman's Bay and
Bloody Bay. Visitors
arrive at the Crown
Point Airport, via
domestic flights from
Trinidad. |
