Man of War Bay

Tobago


The large, horseshoe-shaped Man of War Bay is fringed by a palm-studded yellow-sand beach with good swimming. Roughly in the middle of the beach, you’ll find changing facilities (TT$1) and the Suckhole beach bar, adjacent to a swimming area watched over by lifeguards. The pier toward the eastern end is a nice spot for fishing or sunset-watching.
