charlotteville

A charming village, with a variety of shops, cafes and restaurants. Take a boat, or walk over the headland, to Pirate's Bay. You can get sun beds there but nothing else so take some water! The beach and sea are fantastic.

Nice place, quiet and cool, calm water and restaurant in front of the beach, close to pirate bay you can join by walking or by boat

This place is like a small, fisherman´s village. It has a great atmosphere. The beach here is not very nice,but a short walk away is a Pirate´s Bay - one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. There I had my first and only coconut in Tobago. Strange that people don´t sell coconuts there. The town is lively in the evening, although there is no any entertainment there, like bars or pubs, many take a stroll on the bay with their families and people are outside, talking, walking...etc. It is very different from other places in Tobago. A visit is a must.

The roads are not for the faint hearted, but its worth a visit this is a lovely little place with a great beach. On the way stop for lunch at Jemma's tree house at Speyside.

This place is charmingly trapped in a time warp. It is what Tobago was like decades ago and hasn't changed. A small fishing village at the Northeastern tip of Tobago, it's accessible best by rental car (recommended). Sit at the small bay or have a bite at a local cafe and just take the slow pace in. About an hour's drive or so from Crown Point.

Quick look round the town on our round the island tour with Peter.Fish market area was interesting and the beach looked lovely but only a brief stop.

Loved the back in time old fashioned feel to the place. Its totally unmodernised. Most people were so friendly and we loved the lady called Lucille who has a stall selling her own homegrown food. She made us coffee and told us some fascinating stories about her life.

Charlotteville is about as far at the "end of the world" as one could wish. At the end of a long, (short in distance) winding road, at the tip of the island. A small village of about 1200 - maybe 1500 people,. Fishermen, and others, and, OK, well some tourists as well. The village is as it has been, and has not beel spoiled or corrupted (yet) by the homogeneous, boring, glitzy, casino-saturated, expensive, and soulless tourist industry as found throughout the Caribbean. A quiet town that rolls itself up at about 8 pm each night. Just a few places to eat (see other reviews) (Suckhole, Sharon and Phebes', Lucy's Organic Stand, and a wonderful no-name all take-away place (Lyndon's??) down an alley between some houses near the red grocery store.) Only one reliable place for wifi, the public library, when it's open. Good! We all need to be disconnected once in awhile. The photos from others showing the fishermen pulling the nets from the beach are real, - every morning. There are threats to this village's soul and charm in the offing as developers want to build a "mall" along the shorefront, and force the beachside vendors inside. I also heard of a plan to make it more accessible to cruise ships. That would be on the one hand probably good for local jobs and standard of living, and very sad for the loss of authenticity. Flagstaff Hill is a terrific view. Dash, the fisherman gives a wonderful tour of the nearby islands. and the snorkeling right on the beach is outstanding - within 6 feet of the sand.If you need a break from the "real world", to disconnect from life (and re-connect with yourself and others you love) spend a few days here. We spent 6 nights. I had no idea of the news of the world, or of my office, or virtually anything. yes, I checked email at the library a couple times, but that was enough. the rest of the time.....<exhale and breathe>

Drove the island, got here when the sun was high on the sky, had some ROTI and was just chillin a bit, the locals cutting up their freshly caught fish, liming on the streets next to the beach, a truly postcard beach. Go there and feel the real Tobago vibe ;-)

Although there is not much to see in Charlotteville, the beaches are lovely and the views from around town are great. Make sure to get out to Flagstaff Hill for the views.TIP: Caution at Flagstaff Hill as the birds nest in the area and dive bomb you if you get too close to their nests.

On the public square in Madrid, Spain is the #1 most unlikely named cafe in my word, 'The Eboli Cafe.' The name is just too close to Ebola for my taste. However, my #2 most unlikely named eatery is the 'Suckhole Cafe.' It is well worth the drive. It is a quiet spot close to the water, and in a quiet little town well off the beaten track. Plan to drive slowly getting there, and take a swimming suit. It is excellent food and service, and a genuine treat.

C/ville as it is called, is a fishing village where there are a number of fishermen with pirougues which they use to obtain their catch. You can depend on getting fresh fish everyday of the week. These fishermen would also be happy to arrange trips to neighbouring beaches not accessible by land. The beautiful, small red sand beach called lovers bay, their is also pirates bay (accessible by land via over a hundred steps they say), there's dead bay, waterfall bay, hermitage beach, etc. C/ville also has small reefs if you're up for snorkelling and there's a dive center (look up Charlotteville Shark Shack on facebook). Man of way bay stretches at the whole of the village so you can enjoy the beach without going anywhere too. Few restuarants, one, i.e. Sharon and Phebs accept debit and credit cards. Also a few marts and mini marts are around. Look for a small shop, VVK mini mart or ask for Yeates with the shop if you want to shop with your debit or credit cards. Site seeing for your photos at flagstaff hill and fort campbleton but you may want to arrange a taxi for the ride to flagstaff hill since it's a short distance from the village. Or you can walk and enjoy the small hike up the hill. Many options for places to stay also. Very nice place. Just be weary of some of the men around who may try to hassle you when they realise you're a tourist. Some may be disrespectful if you pay them no mind, just continue along your way and pay them no mind. Enjoy if you visit.

We visited Charlotteville (a traditional fishing village) in February 2014 and stayed with Sharon and Walter at the Big Fish prestige suites. The room was great with a stunning view of the village and the sound of the sea, you where literally one minute from the beach.If you want a peacefully holiday away from it all then this is definitely the place to stay. The locals go out of their way to make you welcome and were on hand to help. There are a variety of fish restaurants serving up creole food. We favoured Sharon and her wonderful homemade fish soup. Lovers beach and Pirates Bay are a must where you can swim amongst the coral reef. I will definitely return to this picturesque, quiet paradise.

If you hire a car to go round the island. Visit argyll falls, forget the long wait at the overpriced jemmas at speyside. Continue round to charlotteville and visit the cafe at the beach facility. Its called the ' suckhole' . We ( 2 adults with boys in early 20's) had fresh fish, salad, potatoes beautifully cooked and served by a delightful young lady who charged us 220TT not each but for all of us. Thats about £5.00 or $3.50us. Each !!! Lovely view out to sea and a memorable meal.
