Turtle Watching? Some carefully patrolled beaches allow you to witness the nesting rituals of the endangered Leatherback Turtle. Soaking up the rays? Well, you can do that on any of our beaches! So if you want to explore the wonders of the underwater world, come discover the many moods of our Trinbagonian waters - from the surf-washed beaches of Trinidad's North Coast to the smooth, balmy waters that cradle Tobago, we have it all!

Treat yourself to a magnificent beach getaway - Trinbagonians love a beach 'lime' - it's our way of kicking back and having some fun - and join us for the best time of your life in the sun, sand and sea! Our magical twin islands are awash, coast to coast, with good vibrations and surprising variations - each individual beach varies in shoreline composition, water depth and visibility, which offers you an extensive choice in picking the right beach for your favourite activity - from water skiing to scuba diving. Speaking of which, the avid diver will find his home away from home in Tobago, which offers the chance to see diverse marine life whose scope is rivaled only by Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Our delightful variety of aquatic flora and fauna is sure to excite both the newcomer and the seasoned marine-life enthusiast.
