Beach description
Pigeon Point Beach is a national park with the following benefits:
- a long sandy beach of light brown color;
- the ruins of a colonial fortress, barracks and artillery batteries;
- the tropical forest with lush palm trees, cypress trees, balsa wood and sandalwood;
- lush gardens with ornamental shrubs, variegated flowers and shaggy grasses;
- the quiet and calm sea of the bright turquoise color.
The local beach and seabed are covered with soft sand. Their surface is daily cleaned of debris and rags. Pigeon Point Beach is decorated with huge boulders and colorful houses. Another pearl of the national park is the wooden pier. It offers a beautiful view of the green hills, tourist boats and the island of Trinidad.
The beach is characterized by a smooth depth increase. Safe swimming areas are marked by buoys. The weather is calm here, and waves are not strong. From October to April, there is almost no rain in the national park. The weather is constantly changing in other months.
Pigeon Point Beach offers the following activities:
- boat trips to reefs on a boat with a transparent bottom;
- exploration of tropical forests and picnics in the middle of luxurious gardens;
- rides on sea scooters and boats;
- sunbathing on comfortable sun loungers;
- tasting dishes of Trinidad and Tobago by the sea;
- walking along the beach.
A natural pool filled with a small waterfall is hidden in the local forest. It is inhabited by goldfish and other representatives of the fauna. We also strongly recommend you to get to the end of the pier. There is a cozy gazebo where you can have picnics.
Interesting fact: Pigeon Point Beach images are often featured on postcards. In a way, the beach is a symbol of Tobago. Is it any wonder that a large number of people are resting here? American citizens and Europeans predominate among foreign visitors of the park. If you want to enjoy the local beauties in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere, come here at 7-8 a.m.
A fee of 30 dollars is charged for the park in Trinidad, and Tobago -approximately 3 dollars. Another disadvantage of this place are annoying businessmen trying to impose their services and goods upon tourists. However, they bother only a small number of people and leave with a firm refusal to cooperate.
When is the best time to go?
In the mid and late summer (and sometimes fall) Trinidad and Tobago flooded by rains. Therefore, the best time to travel is the beginning of the year, the months from February to May.
