LOOKING for some sun, sea and sand in Crown Point? More than likely, you may be thinking about relaxing at Store Bay or Pigeon Point. However, Swallow’s Beach is giving the two heavyweights some competition with a number of attractions.
One can enjoy a sea bath or water adventure, grab a cocktail at the corner bar, sip on a naturally-blended smoothie, or delight your taste buds with some of Tobago’s indigenous confectioneries.
The long stretch of beach along Pigeon Point Road is now an exploding hub for tourists and residents.

Bago’s Bar is one of the business enterprises that has transformed Swallow’s beach.
A trek into Bago’s Beach Bar, with its re-designed interior, provides a signature tropical ambiance, and even if the temperature is above 30 degrees, its iconic location on the beach front, provides a cooling effect from the sea-breeze and a panoramic view of the ocean.
One of the patrons at Bago’s Beach Bar last Wednesday, who is from the area and popularly known as Jada the Mayor, was very complimentary of the food and drinks served at the restaurant.
“You can get the best lobster meals and cocktail blends in Tobago right here,” she said. “I work nearby and when I am on a break, I always come here. I love the cool vibes and natural ambiance.
“The workers are very professional and friendly with the customers, and the beach is popular with foreigners, especially on weekends,” she added.
Another regular at the bar, who goes by the alias Blessah, said Swallow’s is holding its own compared to the other popular Crown Point beaches.
“Since the restaurant open, I always coming here. Here is just freeness. You don’t have to pay to enter like Pigeon Point, and the beach at Store Bay does be rough sometimes. Here more private and the location closer to the main road.
“The vibes, ocean and ambiance go together for me. I always meeting nice people here, and it have everything like Store Bay and Pigeon Point.”
One of the exciting attractions at Swallow’s is kayaking.
