Tobago is the far more tourist-friendly half of the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad & Tobago, with a long history of welcoming visitors to enjoy its fine white beaches, vast rainforest, and culture ranging from the wacky (the annual goat races in Buccoo) to sophisticated (the nation's fine art museum is located in Tobago).

The beach at Tobago's Pigeon Point Heritage Park is one of the most beautiful in the Caribbean, noted for its iconic jetty and calm swimming waters. A small admission fee gets you access to the lifeguard-protected beach (a rarity in the Caribbean) as well as restaurants serving famous Trini "bake and shark," vendors selling local handicrafts, showers and bathrooms. Glass-bottom boat tours for nearby Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool depart regularly from the Pigeon Point Jetty.
Located offshore of Tobago's Pigeon Point and easily accessible, Buccoo Reef and the adjacent Nylon Pool are among the most popular tourist destinations in Tobago. Glass-bottom boats make the short journey from shore to reef for snorkeling outings to see live coral and reef fish, followed by a plunge into the Nylon Pool, a warm and calm patch of silky white sand behind the reef where you can jump off the boat in the middle of the lagoon and walk around in waist-deep water.
