Location
About Charlotteville
A breathtakingly beautiful, small and friendly traditional fishing village where the fishermen still blow the conch shell to herald their return to shore with the catch of the day.
Visitors can stroll the golden sands wandering from one side of Man o War Bay to the other where small cruise ships are hosted from time to time, or take a stroll through the village on the road which meanders along the coast then turns uphill.
Both walks are scenic, serene, and idyllic, passing beach huts and stalls serving local dishes or selling garden produce (mangoes, papaya, fresh coconuts etc) and souvenirs, with flocks of seagulls bobbing on fishing boats, or fishermen enjoying the cooling off-shore breezes while taking shade beneath almond trees on the shoreline.
Apart from the main beach at Man-o-War bay there are several smaller beaches nearby to be explored by foot or the local fishing boat (the pirogue) with romantic names like Pirates Bay or Lovers Cove. This region is how one imagines the Caribbean used to be years ago before the on-set of mass tourism. And it is the farthest point on Tobago from the touristy south-west area with busy Crown Point airport Store Bay and Pigeon Point beaches just an hours drive away but a world of difference.
