Scarborough, Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago

Unhurried, unspoiled and relatively undeveloped, Tobago entices and charms with its simple pleasures and languid pace. Tucked into a scenic bay on the southern coast, the capital of Scarborough has a village feel, with the town market at its center. The island’s few historic sights include the Georgian-style Court House, the seat of island government, and hilltop Fort King George, home to the Tobago Museum and great views. Tobago’s wide sandy beaches and pristine waters – perfect for sunning, swimming, aquatics and relaxing – are the main attractions. Hikers, naturalists and birdwatchers head inland to the Tobago Main Ridge Forest Reserve, created in 1776 to protect the island’s rainforest and natural heritage.
