Tucked away on Tobago’s lush northern coast lies King Peter’s Bay, a breathtaking cove named after King Peter, an Island Carib (Kalinago) chief who once lived in the area. Chief King Peter is remembered as a leader of his people during the early colonial era, a time when Tobago was contested by multiple European powers. He stood as a symbol of resistance and leadership for the indigenous Kalinago population, who were among the island’s earliest inhabitants.
This bay, once part of Carib territory, served not just as a settlement but also as a spiritual and cultural haven for the Kalinago people. Over the centuries, the area remained relatively untouched, with its natural beauty preserved by its remote location and dense forest backdrop.
Today, King Peter’s Bay is a pristine escape offering visitors crystal-clear waters, golden sands, and rich biodiversity ideal for swimming, snorkelling, or simply enjoying nature in its purest form. Its historical legacy, combined with its secluded charm, makes it a must-visit for those seeking a deeper connection to Tobago’s indigenous heritage.
