Tobago Cays Marine Park
Tobago Cays
The most beautiful marine protected area in the Grenadines: five uninhabited islands ringed by a horseshoe reef, where you can swim with sea turtles. It is a must-do sailing day trip from Bequia.
The Tobago Cays lie about 40 km south of Bequia. They consist of five uninhabited islands enclosed by a horseshoe-shaped reef, and the water shifts from emerald green to deep blue. The sea turtle sanctuary near Baradal Island is where you can swim with green sea turtles. Snorkelling on the outer reef reveals corals and rays. Petit Tabac (Little Tobago Cay) is where Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed. From Bequia, a catamaran takes about 1.5-2 hours one way, and trips usually stop at Mayreau along the way. A marine park entrance fee is required, and boat operators usually collect it for you. On the islands, local fishermen cook lobster on barbecues.
