Pigeon Point

Pigeon Point, Tobago — the postcard beach of the Caribbean's most laid-back twin-island nation, a thatched jetty framing turquoise water and coral reef just offshore.

Buffalo Bay School and the Buccoo Reef glass-bottom boat tours depart nearby for snorkeling over coral and the shallow Nylon Pool sandbar. Tobago moves slower than Trinidad — expect beach shacks over resorts, and time a visit for the weekly Sunday School street party in Buccoo village.
