Trinidad and Tobago: Unspoiled Island Paradise in the Caribbean Sea

The little island of Tobago lies on the southern end of the Caribbean Sea, fewer than 150 miles from the shores of South America. It’s just northeast of the larger island of Trinidad—together, the two islands comprise one republic. Tobago is the less developed of the two; it’s known for beautiful forests and unspoiled beaches.

Located in the center of Tobago is the Main Ridge Forest Reserve, which became a protected area in 1776—making it the oldest rainforest reserve in the Caribbean. Hiking trails crisscross the virtually untouched tropical wilderness, where you might see rare birds such as the island’s famous blue-crowned motmot.

The biggest crowds you’re likely to find in Tobago gather on the beaches, though some of them, such as Englishman’s Bay, are often empty. The island’s capital city, Scarborough, has a population of only 17,000 people, but there are a number of traditional Caribbean restaurants and handicraft markets. To get a taste of Tobago’s past as a colonial port, stop by the sprawling Fort King George. Set near the coastline, the fort’s landscaped grounds are still dotted with original cannons.
