Overview
Tobago is one of the Caribbean's unspoiled islands; its fantastic beauty and natural charm slowly hypnotise the visitor into daydreams of staying long past their original return dates. At Pigeon Point the offshore Bucco reef has created an ideal tropical lagoon windsurfing & kitesurfing set-up. Acting as a breakwater the reef protects the Bon Accord Lagoon from the turbulence of the open Caribbean Sea.

Pigeon Point In Tobago
If you could paint a picture of a Caribbean beach then Pigeon Point would be it. Some of the most amazing turquoise water lapping against a beautiful white sandy beach, with grass roof huts scattered around and swaying palm trees overhanging. Many images of Pigeon Point have been used in magazines and brochures, which reinforces the beauty of the spot even more. All this combined makes for a totally fantastic experience and an even better location for participating in you boardsport of choice.
The windsurfing and kitesurfing takes play inside Buccoo Bay which on the inside of Pigeon Point. Easy freeriding or freestyle is usually the order of the day with the wind never really getting too strong. The outside of the bay is flanked by an offshore reef that stops all the swells coming onto the inside. It is possible to sail in the surf, but a degree of ability and skill is needed as you are quite a way from shore. Its flat shallow waters are great for the cautious beginner windsurfer, but also excellent for blasting intermediates and advanced sailors. Tobago is the ultimate windsurfing location for couples or families with mixed abilities.
Pigeon Point for many years was privately owned land but has since been re-purchased by the Government for the benefit of the local people. But one thing to bare in mind is if you are not participating in water borne activity then you do have to pay to use the beach facilities which costs around TT$18pp.
Mt Irvine Bay - Wave Spot
If the swell is big then head to Mt Irvine Bay. You will be treated to some seriously hollow wave action that breaks over a shallow sand and reef bottom. It can be sailed but is more a surfing wave due how fast it breaks.
Other Spots Around Tobago
There are other windsurfing/kiting and surfing spots on the island but they may take a bit of hunting down and may only be for the experienced. If you are prepared to do a little searching, then who knows what you may find!
The Wind
The best intermediate and basic level learning conditions are in August to December, as low tide makes water conditions very smooth in the lagoon. June usually produces the strongest winds averaging 25 knots.
