NIGHTLIFE

Tobago is great for laid-back relaxation, but it’s certainly not short on night-time entertainment:

Try Sundowners Bar, which offers sunset views of Store Bay; the Pavilion, or the Seahorse Inn both with exquisite views of Stonehaven Bay; Golden Star; The Blue Haven Hotel (near Scarborough); Café Iguana Jazz Bar (one of Tobago’s most popular spots). Friday and Saturday are big nights at The Shade nightclub, an open-air venue with a carat-thatched bar and trees, popular with the younger crowd. Tobago’s other club, The Deep, is open every night and features karaoke on Tuesdays.

Whatever else, every Tobago visitor should experience Sunday School. Each weekend in Buccoo the Sunday School street party ensures revellers party their way into the new week. Vendors sell crafts, souvenirs and food as the Bucooneers play pan 9-11pm. After the pan, DJ music means dancing till’ morning.
