Back Bay Beach is one of Tobago’s best-kept secrets, a small, intimate cove that promises a serene escape from the everyday. Located just a short distance from Plymouth, its secluded nature means you’re likely to find yourself sharing the soft sand with only a handful of others, if any. The beach is a gentle curve, embraced by verdant hillsides that provide a sense of peaceful enclosure.
“This hidden bay offers an intimate, undisturbed setting for witnessing Tobago's most spectacular sunsets.”

The water here is calm and inviting, perfect for a quiet dip or simply floating and listening to the gentle rhythm of the waves. The sand, a warm golden hue, is soft underfoot, ideal for a leisurely stroll or finding a comfortable spot to lay out a towel and simply exist in the moment. The natural surroundings lend an air of untouched beauty, making it feel like a true discovery.
As evening approaches, Back Bay transforms into a canvas for nature’s most spectacular show. The western orientation ensures an unobstructed view of the sunset, as the sky melts into a palette of oranges, purples, and fiery reds. It’s a magical experience, best shared with a loved one or savored in quiet reflection, leaving an indelible mark on your memory of Tobago.
