Pigeon Point is the image Tobago sells itself on: a long curve of pale sand, calm shallow water and a thatched-roof jetty running out over turquoise shallows. Unlike most Caribbean beaches it is a managed heritage park with an entry fee of around TT$25, which buys you clean toilets, showers, changing rooms, loungers, a bar and several food outlets. That makes it the easiest beach day in Tobago with children. It is also the departure point for some of the glass-bottom boats out to Buccoo Reef, and about 25 minutes west of the cruise terminal by taxi.
Getting there from the port
