The windward beach is considered world class by windsurfers and kite boarders whereas the leeward beach is a great spot to have a picnic and slowly watch the afternoon pass under the shade of a coconut tree. At the south end of the beach, island residents have set up a number of thatched huts, which sell t-shirts, shells, and various kinds of local jewelry and art. Enjoy barbeque and cooked lobster from “yellow man,” an infamous beachside vendor.

The Tobago Cays are five uninhabited islands, which lie within the protection of an encircling coral reef, Horseshoe Reef. In this location, you are free to enjoy the underwater world, windsurf, or explore the islands by dingy, kayak, or hiking to the summit. The snorkeling deserves several trips. The water is shallow enough that you can stand on the sand in many places. For more adventurous individuals, you can take a dingy through the narrow reef channel where Horseshoe Reef drops off into the deeper water – you may even see a shark! Take a break from the water and enjoy the deserted islands before leaving.
