Close your eyes and picture yourself on a beach in paradise...

The sand is such a brilliant white that you can’t look at it directly; the water is so clean and clear that you have to touch it to make sure it’s real. Half a mile out, a reef keeps the dark blue Atlantic Sea at bay, forming a shallow lagoon that is as calm as a hotel pool. The waves lap gently at the shore, playing a soothing rhythm that relaxes even the busiest of minds. Overhead the coconut trees sway slowly, letting through just enough light to allow your skin to slowly tan. Birds sing in the trees and the delicious smell of grilled fish wafts over to you whenever the wind changes direction.

Now wake up! That’s not just a dream – this paradise is real and it’s in Tobago!

Pigeon Point is not the only place in the Caribbean to boast of beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, palm trees or a lagoon, but there can be few other places in the world that combine these quintessential elements of paradise in such a breath-taking manner! The beach is part of the 125-acre Pigeon Point Heritage Park, located near the southern tip of Tobago and only a few minutes’ drive from the airport. The jetty, with its thatched roof hut, is perhaps the most iconic image of Tobago.

It’s perfectly easy to spend the whole day lying on the beach…maybe even the whole week! But if you feel the need to stretch your legs, then glass-bottomed boat tours depart frequently from the jetty, offering close-up views of Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool. The shallow lagoon is also in a perfect position to catch the strong trade winds, and it is no coincidence that Pigeon Point is a popular location for windsurfing and kitesurfing, as well as paddle boarding.

"Wandering through the cracked grandeur of her streets, it feels like the soundtrack of your own salsa party. And the colours! Everywhere you go there are colourful clothes, colourful music, colourful food – and yes, plenty of colourful Cadillacs; vibrant and vivid culture set against a backdrop of gorgeous faded architecture."

Cuban Charisma and Cadillacs Even for travellers who have experienced a wealth of Caribbean treasure, it is impossible not to fall in love with Cuba or, at least, with Havana. Wandering through the cracked grandeur of her streets, it feels like the soundtrack of your own salsa party.
