What you can see on the Store Bay cam
The camera turns between two views. One looks over the beach and the bay: the sand, the swimmers inside the line of buoys, the glass-bottom boats and yachts at anchor and the calm sea beyond. The other looks inland, over the road and the green by the beach, where taxis, buses and visitors come and go.
Store Bay beach and the road at Crown Point
This camera turns between two views. Towards the sea, it looks down over the beach of Store Bay: the sand, the colourful beach huts, the line of buoys that marks the swimming area and the boats at anchor in the calm bay. Inland, it shows the road and the green beside the beach, with the cars and buses arriving at Crown Point.
The beach view shows how busy the sand is and how clear the water looks.
Crab and dumpling, and the reef
Store Bay is known for the row of small kitchens behind the beach, where local cooks serve crab and dumpling, curry, roti and fresh juice. From the sand, glass-bottom boats leave for the Buccoo Reef, a protected coral reef offshore, and for the Nylon Pool, a shallow sandbar in the middle of the lagoon where the water is waist-deep and clear.
When to watch Store Bay
Tobago keeps Atlantic Standard Time all year, four hours behind UTC. The beach fills up at weekends and on public holidays, when families come from all over the island. The dry season, from January to May, has the clearest water.
Around Store Bay
Pigeon Point, with its palm-lined beach and thatched jetty, is just up the coast, and the old Fort Milford, a small British fort with a few cannons, overlooks the bay. Buccoo and Mount Irvine are a short drive north.
Getting to Store Bay
The beach is a short walk from the arrivals hall of the ANR Robinson International Airport, so it is often the first stop on the island. Many hotels and guesthouses of Crown Point are within walking distance.
