Pigeon point is a picturesque beach located on the northwest coast of Tobago. Situated on a small peninsula with crystal clear turquoise water, tall swaying coconut trees, open palm-thatched huts and a wooden jetty, Pigeon point is considered to be the perfect Caribbean beach.
It was privately owned for many years, but has just been re-purchased by the Government 'for the people'. You have to pay an entrance fee to get to the beach and use the facilities, and there are several souvenir shops and fast food bars at the main end of the beach. The far end is dedicated to watersports - windsurfing and jet skis.
Buccoo Reef is an extensive coral reef lying a 2 km’s offshore from Pigeon Point. Excursions can be made in glass-bottomed boats and it is an excelent place for snorkeling. These trips run from Store Bay or Pigeon Point.
