Best beach in Tobago as far as I'm concerned! Very secluded. It is however...a bit difficult to get to. The walk from the town of Charlotteville to Pirate's Bay is VERY long. I'm not exaggerating, it is extremely long walk! However the good news is that you can drive most of the way there. If you consider yourself a good driver then you can do it but if for example you can't parallel park or reverse in tricky situations then don't drive. Alternatively, you can pay a boatman from the village a small amount to take you to the bay via boat. However, on the walk up there's a lookout point with a fantastic view! Awesome place to take photos! If you take the boat to and from, of course you'll miss out on this. When you drive you can park by the lookout point, if you're in a 4x4 truck you can drive up a bit further. Either way, you got to walk from there. There's 150 steps down to the beach, literally. Once you make it though you'll realize that it was truly worth the journey! The water is very shallow so it's great for children and people who don't swim well especially since there are no lifeguards. The water is also very gentle, even when the tide comes it's still pretty gentle compared to let's say Maracas Beach in Trinidad. Bonus, there's small fish in the water! (They...
Read moreBest beach in the country by far. Gorgeous surroundings, the sand isn’t as coarse and abrasive as other beaches on the island and the water is nice and clear. Travel to the beach is a bit of an issue. I came down in a rented aqua and still the dirt track part of the road was narrow so I’m not sure how them van men really will make out on this thing nah. The names of Bhagwan and Jah were beckoned countless times as we rounded the corners of the dirt track to find even more dirt road. I eventually rented a pirogue which carried us down to the beach for 150TT for 3 people. The pirogues can be found by the beach at the base of the road to go up to the bay (near to the bar) and would take you to other beaches nearby for an additional cost and then bring you back after a specified time. Would definitely recommend if you can make it to...
Read moreThe Pirate's Bay is an absolute must see when visiting Trinidad & Tobago. The beach is located on the northern part of Tobago (Trinidad & Tobago's smaller island). It's one of Tobago's furthest beaches from the airport, but given the island's size, can be reached in an hour and a half's drive from the airport (ANR Robinson International). It's absolutely worth the visit. Try to go on a weekday as that's when it's typically less busy. The water is very clear and not very deep near the shore. You can even do some snorkeling when you're there. You can spend anywhere between 30 min or the whole day, so plan accordingly and enjoy. Please note that you will require some physical activity (longer walk/ stair climb)...
