Hidden Gems !!

Tobago's fascinating history is reflected in the island's rich and diverse heritage and culture. It changed hands more times than any other Caribbean island, with the English, French, Dutch and even Courlanders (Latvians) fighting for control.Now it's time for you to discover Tobago for yourselves.

On the leeward coast of Tobago, if you look carefully, you will find Batteaux Bay – a picturesque secluded beach which despite its lack of popularity among beach-goers is arguably Tobago’s most beautiful beach destination. Counted among the top 10 beaches in the Caribbean by many travel magazines and websites, this beach is indeed a diamond. The destination is ideal for swimming, snorkeling and camping. Chairs, umbrellas and snorkeling equipment can be rented. Accessible through a lovely drive through the paved streets of the Blue Waters Inn Hotel. 46 acres of lush tropical grounds backing charming Batteaux Bay, the Blue Waters Inn boasts one of the most beautiful locations on Tobago. Get the best of both worlds with the perfect hideaway, the hotel offers Tobago's finest hiking and bird-watching. Be awakened by a symphony of birds celebrating the birth of a new day.

Curious Manta Rays, richly overgrown coral reefs, hordes of friendly fish and highly impressive drift dives - Aquamarine Dive Limited, the on-site dive operation, offers easy access to Tobago's most unique dive adventures, with our finest sites only minutes from your doorstep.

Before you get to the beautiful Batteaux Bay, take in the rich scenic ruins of the one of the old sugar mill. The water wheel used to power the mill was erected in the late 18th or 19th century. The water wheels and related machinery were used to grind sugar and were fabricated in Scotland. With the collapse of the sugar industry in 1887, this and other mills became obsolete. It now stands as a reminder of the rich historical culture of Tobago's past.

Speyside is also the home to TripAdvisor's well known Jemma's Tree House. Stop by on the way and enjoy the local cuisine with a twist. Enjoy your meal in a carefully built restaurant in the trees over looking the beach, also giving you a clear view of the quaint island of Little Tobago.
