Where to stay in Tobago

For many visitors, the most practical areas to stay are Crown Point, Canaan, Mt. Irvine, Buccoo, Scarborough, and quieter village settings like Castara.

Each area offers a different kind of Tobago experience:

• Crown Point suits travellers who want beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and quick airport access.

• Canaan is ideal for guests who want a calm, residential base close to the action without staying on the busy tourist strip.

• Mt. Irvine works well for beach lovers, golfers, and travellers who want a laid-back west coast feel.

• Buccoo is popular for reef trips, local character, and apartment-style stays.

• Scarborough is convenient for the ferry, business trips, and access to the island’s capital.

• Castara suits travellers looking for a slower, scenic village atmosphere.

If you want a stay that feels peaceful, practical, and close to everything, Canaan stands out as one of the smartest bases in Tobago.
