A few years ago I spent a week on the island of Tobago. After traveling around the island I soon realized I was in one of the world’s most beautiful Turquoise destinations. My favorite beach on the island is Pigeon Point in Crown Point. Tobago is most famous for Englishman’s Bay which is located on the West/Leeward coast off the Northside Road. I loved spending the day swimming in Englishman Bay where the ocean meets the rain forest. Listening to the tropical birds singing sweetly from a distance was tranquil and relaxing. A serenity away from the city. Englishman’s Bay is rated one of the best beaches in the Caribbean by touropia, and one of best beaches in the world by the telegraph.
Take a look for yourself. Would you consider Tobago one of the world’s best turquoise destinations?

Serene 🙂
It was the perfect place to relax after volunteering in South America
Tobago is beautiful and so turquoise!!! Relaxing photos!!
Thanks so much! I needed that stop over flying home from Guyana!
I live on a Caribbean island and there is no bluer waters than the waters in the Caribbean. Your pictures captured all the reasons why I decided to live here.
You got it! Every time I see these waters I start thinking about moving myself…
Tranquil.
Tranquil indeed! The perfect place to unwind after working in Guyana on my way home.
Paradise!
It really was!
It’s beautiful – looks like you can see the bottom forever!
In some areas you could! I went out in a glass bottom boat and saw the underworld!
Oh, neat! You know they have the glass bottomed boats in Hawaii too, right? Not that I’ve been there, but I’ve seen photos.
Yeah I did know. I am doing a catamaran tour and snorkeling too! Excited about that!
Have fun!
Thanks so much!
Wow, so beautiful! I’ve wanted to go here ever since I watched a clip about swimming with humpback whales here (I love whales!!!)!
Oh, wait that was a different island, oops! Still, this is beautiful!
Which were you thinking of?
I think Tonga in SE Pacific… no where close lol
Oh that would be great!
You have to do then! You are destined! When do you think you will go?
It looks incredible. Ironic that it’s called Englishman’s Bay when you couldn’t find somewhere that looks less like England 🙂
I know funny isn’t it! Christopher Columbus landed there! That probably had something to do with it!
I LOVED this island when I visited in High School 😉 I was in a folk group and we went to perform steel drums etc. I absolutely love their accent 🙂
Did you get into any of the entertainment scene??
JC
It is amazing isn’t it! Yeah we did hear some live music! Do unique! 🙂
It’s amazing!! How did you ever part from it? Wow, something out of a dream! Love it!!
I had to leave to go back to work 😦 , but I knew I would see another turquoise destination!
Ah work. 😉 Such gorgeous scenery!!
Indeed!
I probably would never leave that place… it exactly what I imagine paradise looks like. I love beaches! lol
The joy of traveling is that I keep finding new paradises in new destinations.
I love Tobago – though I might be biased considering I’m originally from Trinidad…but still… 🙂 I think your first photo is from the Nylon Pool – am I right?

Tobago is incredibly turquoise and spectacular. You are allowed to be biased considering it is such an amazing place! (I’m also biased about Canada since I’m from there) You got it right Kendra! When was the last time that you were there? I’d love to go back to explore Trinidad next time.
Last time I went was this past Feb and I hope to go back in Oct – gotta visit the grandparents and cousins! The difficulty in having relatives still there is that it’s hard to play tourist. One yr I hope to tell no one I’m there and visit the island properly! 🙂
Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes you want to just be a tourist in your own country without any distractions. You’ll have to plan a two part trip: one for family and friends and the other for yourself.
