Bacolet Bay

Tobago


Around the headland to the east of Scarborough is the suburb of Bacolet. This pretty enclave of well-to-do homes and a couple of hotels overlooks Bacolet Bay Beach, a pretty horseshoe of dark-yellow sand backed with palm trees and lapped by shallow waters. It's a very quiet spot; take your own refreshments.
