The Beach Ride Courland Bay is the largest on the Caribbean coast of Tobago. It's a sandy beach is almost a mile long. The rides to the beach take about an hour of walking along a deserted country lane. After passing through the woods and a small rural village called Black Rock, horse and rider encounter a bracing lash of salty air driven by the North-East tradewinds. How we ride.
Experienced riders get up to a canter sometimes.
The beach ride is an excellent way to work on horsemanship. Inexperienced riders are accompanied by a guide at all times. The groups are small and almost always you can ride with only your party and of course, the guides. Sometimes when there are mixed levels of skill among the group, we ask the riders who can't get up to speed to dismount and walk along. The others can then get their adrenalin rush.
