Bacolet Bay
A winding road leads to this small, secluded beach that was the location of the Disney movie “Jungle of 1000 Dangers”. The light waves invite you to have fun with a body board, the sand is nice and soft and perfect for sunbathing. A beach bar operated by the nearby Blue Haven Hotel provides visitors with refreshments. The use of sanitary facilities, changing rooms and the playground is reserved for hotel guests.
Rockley Bay
South of Scarborough, close to Shaw Park, lies this small beach.
Little Rockley Bay
This long beach, covered with black volcanic sand and lined with coconut palms, is situated on the former coastal road.
The eastern part of the bay is also called Banana Bay. This section is protected by a reef and therefore suitable for swimming – wonderfully refreshing due to the Atlantic current.
Towards Crown Point, the rough influence of the Atlantic prevails, creating waves and strong surf. Thus, the area at the end of which the Magdalena Grand Beach Resort is located attracts less bathers, but all the more joggers and kitesurfers
Petit Trou
A long beach with permanent breeze and wonderful for a walk. The lagoon of Petit Trou is located directly at “Tobago Plantations”. This is one of Tobago’s most important development projects with the Magdalena Grand Beach Resort, a certified golf course, shopping centre, bars and media centre.
Canoe Bay
This section at Canoe Bay Resort is one of two private beaches on Tobago – access is chargeable. Small cabins offer shelter from the sun, the water is calm and shallow and therefore perfect for children. Changing rooms, sports areas and a snack bar round off the offer. The entrance fee is TT$12 for adults and TT$6 for children over 4 years.
