Next morning, January 28th, we sailed west to Store Bay. It is the main Tobago anchorage and yet we joined only a few boats there. Anchoring is tricky, the bay is full of protected corals, with patches of sand in between, where you can drop the anchor.
The beach is a mile long, on the south side interrupted by the picturesque Coco Resort, then stretches to the north to the Pigeon Point and around it. Right there, at the Pigeon point, is the Buccoo Reef. It is the most beautiful sea sight we have ever seen. The water is in many shades of colour, pale turquoise to dark blue, waves splashing over long stretches of coral reefs.
Buccoo Reef is a heaven for the kite and wind surfers, beginners staying close to the beach, dare devils navigating through coral reefs, turning, jumping, making a show for us.
Buccoo Reef is a public area with a large well maintained park. Neat gazebos with roofs made of palm leaves and benches under large almond trees are perfect for family lunches. On weekends the place fills up with locals, during the week it is quiet there with some two dozen vacationers burning on the lounge chairs.
