| About Trinidad & Tobago | |
 | |
 Trinidad (and Tobago) are the most southerly of the Caribbean islands, with Trinidad lying just 7 miles off the coast of Venezuela. Tobago is 21 miles away to the northeast of Trinidad. In fact, locals will proudly tell you that you can see Venezuela from the North West of Trinidad. Trinidad is a major commercial center and is the most industrialized of the Caribbean societies.
We could tell you more, but it's so much easier to show you what Trinidad music/Carnival is all about: More TRINIDAD and TOBAGO LINKS:

BORN TO DO IT.
While Trinidad prides itself on offering excitement, Tobago is synonymous with tranquility. If you visit Tobago AFTER Trinidad, which is likely, you'll have a hard time believing the two islands comprise the same country! With its many deserted beaches, in particular the one at Store Bay near the Crown Point airport, and an endless supply of calm, clear water, Tobago begs to be enjoyed.
There is a championship golf course where you can play a relaxing 18 holes and still occasionally find some shade from the nearby palm trees. Recreation in Tobago centers around the sea. The many inlets, bays and reefs are perfect for swimming & snorkeling. The Buccoo Reef, which can be visited by hopping aboard one of the many available glass-bottomed boat tours, is NOT to be missed! 
Clubs on BOTH islands vibrate with the beat of Trinidadian music, as well as regional music, such as Jamaican dancehall, until the early hours. Trinidadians though, have tastes for all music, so U.S. music has a huge following as well. Trinidadians and Tobagonians like to party or "fete" (French for celebrate) as it is known locally, not unlike most people of the Caribbean region. The biggest 'fete' of them all is an annual cultural celebration known as Carnival, which usually occurs in February or March.
