    One of prettiest beaches in Tobago
    Gorgeous beach. Off the beaten path and totally worth the trip! Chances are, you'll have it all to yourself. Consider stopping for the happy hour at Castara Retreats afterwards. The sunset views are spectacular.

    Best little beach in Tobago!!
    Best beach in Tobago by far! Go down the little dumpy dirt track, park up and walk into paradise. Never busy, you may even be lucky enough to have the beach to yourself. Lovely little store as you walk in with very reasonable prices for souvenirs, plus serves sone lovely food. Definitely recommended..

    Beautiful clean beach
    This is a beautiful beach. We visited at the end of Oct 23 and had the beach to ourselves most day. Can rent loungers and there is a cafe which serves seriously delicious roti!!! Worth going just for that! The waters can get quite choppy, so wouldn't recommend for small children. But other than that I thought it was one of the best beaches in tobago

Beautiful quiet bay
Aug 2022
This idealic bay is just beautiful and peaceful.A horseshoe sandy beach with palm trees on it's edge and mangroves behind it and only one building,the restaurant,in sight.You can just walk straight into the sea and if you are a good swimmer,the snorkeling is good but you do have to swim out a bit for the best reefs(best if you go by boat)

Lovely bay
Nov 2022
A great little bay which was almost empty when we were there. It has one small cafe serving food and drink and selling sarongs and a souvenir stall . However it is a long drive if you are coming from the West of the Island and the roads are not good with plenty of potholes. Allow an hour and a quarter from Crown point. Worth having a map as well as it is sometimes difficult to tell the main road apart from the side roads

My small ‘private’ beach
Dec 2020
The one hour drive from the hotel was worth it, this small secluded beach is still my favorite. It’s never crowded, has lots of shade and it’s just beautiful to relax and enjoy a nice dip. Beware of the drops when entering the water!

Off the beaten track, but worth the effort
Mar 2020
We returned to Englishman's Bay after 10 years, and it didn't disappoint. The idyllic picture of a Caribbean bay beach, and very few people. A few more than last time, but still peaceful and beautiful.
We spent several hours, and enjoyed a local lunch, while avoiding a sharp shower. We swam in the sea, and enjoyed watching pelicans fishing for more than an hour.
The drive up from Crown Point in the south was worth the effort, occasionally exciting on the road, including getting slightly lost a couple of times. Road signs and direction indicators are a rarity on Tobago.
Be adventurous and go to Englishman's Bay!

Hidden gem on Tobago!
Jan 2020 • Couples
We took a day trip over to Tobago from Trinidad and had decided to road trip around the entire island. We happened to stumble upon this hidden bay and we’re treated to an incredible beach and view.

The beach is large and mostly empty making it super easy to plop down a towel and relax and enjoy the view. There is a swing attached to a tree, and a small souvenir shop nearby.

Top 3 beach in Tobago
Jul 2022 • Family
This is one of the best beaches in Tobago for swimming and snorkeling. It's NOT a developed beach with lifeguards and amenities. Pay attention to the tides and the time of year you're visiting as well. Usually from May to September seas are very calm in Tobago. Not sure why certain websites say this area isn't safe. Every time I visit I have a great experience, whether there are others on the beach or it's completely deserted. If crowds and loud music are not your thing, this is the beach for you. Be sure to check out Eula's restaurant on the beach for a yummy lunch after a good swim.

TIP: the beach is usually deserted before 10 in the morning. If you want a beachbfor yourself, this is for you. If you're more comfortable with a couple people around, go after 10.

Feb is not a good month for beach but great food.
Feb 2021
February to beginning March 2021 was not a good time to visit. The water was rough and it had a huge dip. We simply relaxed on the beach. There was no one bathing for good reason. The restaurant on the beach was great. The food was wonderful.
