Trinidad and Tobago
The islands are surrounded by the golden sands beaches and gently swaying coconut trees, lush rainforests, historical buildings and unique wildlife.
The remote north coast village is where the Grande Riviere River meets the sea and is known by tourists primarily as one of the world's most important nesting ground for rare leatherback sea turtles.
Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool are the beaches to visit at Tobago island.
Unlike many other Caribbean destinations, the multicultural dynamic of Tobago's people shines through in the local cuisine. Tucked behind the Botanic Gardens the thoughtfully presented food is the best of Trinidadian fine dining, try the geera-crusted kingfish with tomato choka. Evenings spent listening to the tropical sounds of calypso and sipping cool cocktails of local rum.

St Andrews in Trinidad, listed as a Golf Club in 1891, so its one of the oldes in the Western Hemisphere. Although not a long course, its narrow fairways, contoured greens and mature, tropical trees, strategically positioned, provide a stern test to break par. The front nine is about distance but the back nine is about accuracy. This par 72, 5994m off the Blue Tees, one often assumes that the course is 'beatable'.
