About Scarborough
Scarborough's history is etched into its very landscape. Founded in the 1650s, it was named after the English seaside town and became the capital of Tobago in 1769. Its strategic importance is still visible today at the iconic Scarborough Castle (Fort King George), which stands sentinel over the town and harbor, offering panoramic views and housing the insightful Tobago Museum. The town is the commercial and governmental hub of Tobago, home to the island's main administrative buildings, the bustling L Bandarbad Port, and the lively Scarborough Market. Culturally, Scarborough is famous for its vibrant Carnival celebrations, known as 'Tobago Heritage Festival' events that showcase traditional music, dance, and storytelling. The town itself is compact, with main districts centered around the port and market area, while residential neighborhoods climb the surrounding hills. It's famous for its authentic, unpretentious atmosphere—a place where you can witness the daily rhythm of Tobagonian life, from fishermen bringing in their catch to locals shopping for fresh produce, all while being just a short drive from some of the island's most beautiful beaches like South Bay and North Bay.
Best Time to Visit Scarborough
The best time to visit Scarborough, and Tobago generally, is during the dry season, which runs from January to May. This period offers the most reliable sunshine, lower humidity, and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the town's outdoor attractions, fort, and nearby beaches. This is also the peak tourist season, so expect higher prices and more visitors. The rainy season spans June to December, with the highest chance of showers typically from June to August and again in October and November. While brief, intense downpours are common, they often clear quickly, and this off-peak period can mean fewer crowds and better deals on accommodation. A major event to consider is the Tobago Carnival (usually October), which fills the streets of Scarborough with vibrant parades, music competitions, and cultural events. The Christmas and New Year period is also very popular. For a balance of good weather and moderate crowds, the shoulder months of May and early June or late November are excellent choices.
