Tobago » general info

The tiny island of Tobago, West Indies shows travellers that true paradise comes in small packages. Only 300 sq. km, Tobago is home to empty beaches, exotic wildlife, lush landscapes, mouth-watering cuisine and wonderful local people. Sometimes called "Robinson Crusoe's Island", Tobago is a year-round paradise. The island lies south of the hurricane belt, and with its big sister Trinidad, makes up the southernmost islands in the Caribbean.

The pace of life in Tobago comes in two speeds: slow and slower. No worries, take it easy, chill… Tobago is the place to go to completely relax. Tobago is a beautiful, unspoilt island that hasn't been ruined by commercialism or tourism. The Tobagonians are a kind, and friendly people, and proud of their island.

FBC Tobago – Radical Sports Tobago is situated directly on the white sandy beach a few steps from the water in the grounds of the stunning Pigeon Point Heritage Park which is a perfectly maintained and colourful tropical park. The sailing area is very large with truly amazing colours, sailing in turquoise warm water you feel like you are windsurfing in a 3 dimensional postcard! It’s a superb freeride spot with light to medium wind, standing area, flat water on the inside and small chops on the outside. Great for beginners and intermediates. There is a varying wind direction with wind strength usually between 3-5 bft, mainly sideshore from the right (east). The center is located at a point going into the water so you can sail perfectly with wind directions spreading 180°.
 
There is always something to do … windsurfing, kitesurfing, SUP, bird watching, scuba diving, fishing, golf, horse riding, mountain biking, off-road safaris, sailing … the list is endless! Tobago offers something for just about everyone. If you’re a diver, an ornithologist, a nature lover, a sun worshipper, a lover of fresh food, a laid-back lifestyle, a people-watcher, a beach babe, surf dude, sailor, romantic couple, oldie, young person or on a tight budget, then you’ll love Tobago, just like us.

There are two seasons: a wet season between July and November, and a dry season between December and June. Tobago’s south coast, pounded by the Atlantic Ocean, is dotted with charming fishing villages whilst the north Caribbean coast has many beautiful coral sand beaches. So it’s your choice … discover and explore or relax and let go … either way you will never forget, and it won’t be long before you are back again!
