A national marine park not to be missed, the Tobago Cays are made up of five deserted islets, with dazzling, palm-studded shorelines. Horseshoe Reef, which protects these islands, offers some of the best snorkeling and diving in the world.

And of course the powdery, white sand beaches are spectacular. Beaches of note include those on Petit Rameau. There is a nice shaded beach to the north and another on the east side with shallow waters for beginner snorkelers. Local boat vendors are at hand during the season, offering everything from jewelry to lobsters.
