| Welcome to Tobago on the Paradise Islands website. Tobago is the smaller island of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (together with 21 smaller islands). Tobago lies just north of Trinidad and south east of Grenada in the southern Caribbean Windward island chain. |
| Tobago is just over one hundred square miles (26 miles long and 6 miles wide) with a population of just over 50,000. The capital is Scarborough where 17,000 of the island's inhabitants live. As part of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago it has been independent since 1976. |
| Tobago is a volcanic island with a line of small mountains running down the centre of the island with the highest point being Pigeon Peak near Speyside at 1,800 feet. The south east of the island is largely flat. |
| Tourism is more important in Tobago than it is to Trinidad's economy. The main tourist area is in the south east of the island and include Crown Point, Pigeon Point (one of the finest beaches in the world), Store Bay and Bucco Reef. Tobago has many fine beaches including Castara, Englishman's Bay and Bloody Bay. Visitors arrive at the Crown Point Airport, via domestic flights from Trinidad. |
