Anchorages on Tobago's Atlantic Coast

Atlantic Windward Coast — Exposed Conditions

Tobago's Atlantic coast faces the full fetch of the North Atlantic Trade Wind swell. Anchorages are generally only comfortable in settled NE weather — swell wraps around headlands and can make anchorages untenable in strong NE winds. Speyside Bay is protected by Goat Island and Little Tobago in light NE conditions. Little Tobago is a bird sanctuary — no landing without a licensed guide. Leatherback turtles nest on Atlantic beaches March–August — no lights after dark on beaches.
