Store Bay (Tobago)

Store Bay's shoreline kiosks are reviewed almost as frequently as the sand and water, and the verdict is good. Here the tourist board rents the stands to local vendors selling sumptuous island food like roti, crab and dumplings or pelau, and any or all are worth a try. There are also plenty of changing rooms and umbrellas along Store Bay, and like other Tobago beaches, the water here is spectacular.

If there's a downside to Store Bay, it would be that the southwest beach is overrun with tourists and commercial activity. If you're looking for more peace and quiet, you'll have to venture elsewhere entirely.
