Tobago Surfing Travel Tips

By Matt Link
  • Tobago's surf season lasts from November to March, although swells can peak during the summer months if there's a hurricane brewing.
  • Mount Irvine Bay is a good place for surfers to orient themselves: Not only is it an excellent surf spot, but lessons and board rentals also are available here.
  • Surfing in some areas may be restricted during the turtle-nesting season from March to August.
  • To hook up with other local surfers, contact The Surfing Association Trinidad and Tobago.

Beach Overview: Tobago, Trinidad and Tobago

By Matt Link
Tobago is the smaller (27 miles long by 7.5 miles wide) isle of Trinidad and Tobago. It's sleepier, mellower, and—yes—more languid than its flashier sister island 20 miles to the southwest. Tourism on Tobago is a low-key affair, as the island is populated by mom-and-pop lodgings, empty beaches, and a molasses-slow pace; however, that doesn't mean there is nothing of note here. There are excellent snorkeling reefs, like the waist-deep Buccoo Reef, gorgeous bays including Pigeon Point, and exotic sea life. The island also has forests of breadfruit and mango as well as Pigeon Peak Reserve, which dates back to 1765 and is the oldest legally protected reserve in the Western Hemisphere. All of this and a smiling, fun-loving populace are sure to please. Read More
