Located along Tobago’s scenic western coastline, Black Rock is more than just a serene beachside village; it's a place steeped in history and cultural richness.

This charming area gets its name from the dramatic volcanic rocks that line the shore, remnants of Tobago’s ancient geological past. But Black Rock is also home to one of the island’s most important historical sites: Fort Bennett. Built by the Dutch in the 1600s and later fortified by the British, Fort Bennett served as a lookout point to guard the island from French privateers and other maritime threats. Today, the fort’s ruins offer a peaceful vantage point with sweeping views of Stonehaven Bay.

Black Rock’s warm, laid-back energy is matched by its deep cultural roots. It’s a hub of local life where traditions like drumming, fishing, and folk storytelling continue to thrive. Just a short drive from the bustling town of Scarborough, it serves as a perfect escape for those seeking both natural beauty and historical depth.
