Glass-bottom boats operate between Speyside and Little Tobago Island, one of the most important seabird sanctuaries in the Caribbean. Divers are drawn to the unspoiled reefs in the area and to the strong possibility of spotting giant manta rays. The approach to Speyside from the south affords one of the most spectacular vistas of the island. Beaches Balandra Bay , on the northeast coast, is sheltered by a rocky outcropping and is popular with bodysurfers. Blanchisseuse Bay , on the North Coast Road, is a narrow, palm-fringed beach.
Facilities are nonexistent, but the beach is ideal for a romantic picnic.
You can haggle with local fishermen to take you out in their boats to explore the coast. Back to Top Las Cuevas Bay , also on the North Coast Road, is a narrow, picturesque strip named for the series of partially submerged and explorable caves that ring the beach. A food stand offers tasty snacks, and vendors hawk fresh fruit across the road. There are basic changing and toilet facilities. It's less crowded here than at nearby Maracas Bay, and seemingly serene, although, as at Maracas, the current can be treacherous.
