About Tobago - An Overview

Tobago is situated 30 km to the north-east of Trinidad. A central chain of mountains, called the Main Ridge, extends nearly two-thirds of the length of the island from its north-eastern tip, the highest point being 567 metres. Ridges and conical hills descend from the Main Ridge forming attractive valleys through which numerous streams run to the sea.

The south-western tip, Crown Point, is low-lying coral limestone, and off the coast there is a coral lagoon bounded by the beautiful Buccoo Reef. There are several smaller islands around the coast of Trinidad and Tobago which are ideal reserves for wild life. Most notable of these is "Little Tobago", a bird sanctuary for the world-famed `Bird of Paradise‘.
