Pirate's Bay

Pirate's Bay is a sand beach in northern Tobago characterized by pink-tinted sand framed by steep cliffs. The clear water stretches seaward toward the Caribbean.

The bay sheltered maritime vessels during colonial times, which inspired its name and seafaring legacy. Its remote location made it a natural refuge for ships.

Local fishermen from Man of War Bay ferry visitors to the beach, keeping alive customs rooted in the sea. This way of arriving shapes how people experience the place.

The beach has no facilities, so bring your own supplies and plan accordingly. Access requires either a boat ride from Man of War Bay or walking down concrete steps to reach the shore.

This location served as a filming site for the 1952 Robinson Crusoe movie, chosen because its remote setting matched the story's isolation. The seclusion made it ideal for capturing the narrative on screen.
