Store Bay - Transport & Travel

Select your download option below


A.N.R. Robinson (previously Crown Point) International Airport is based at Store Bay, with one weekly non-stop flight to the UK. Connections can be made to other destinations via Trinidad.

There is also a daily car ferry service which runs between Tobago and Trinidad (either two and a half hours on the fast Cat service or five and a half hours on the MV Warrior Spirit which transports trucks and heavy cargo). The fast Cats sail twice a day on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and once a day on all another day). Tickets must be brought beforehand either at the Ferry Terminal on Carrington Street in Scarborough or from an authorized dealer. For information: Tel: (+1) 868 639 2181.

Tobago does have taxis which can be flagged down if you stand on the side of the road. Always ask the price to your destination before getting in. On the car’s license look for H plates or P plates. H plates signify a taxi, P plates are locals who do a taxi service and is the way most locals travel. Basically, you share a car with other people, similar to the Maxi-Taxi system on other islands.

Taxis are cheap if you are on the main road, but they will charge extra if you need to be dropped off away from the main road. A trip to Scarborough from Crown Point should cost no more than $7TT each way per person (and takes about 20 mins.). A trip to Penny Savers from Crown Point should cost no more than $3TT each way per person.

There are plenty of rental cars available.

    Store Bay info Sept 2015:

    * Store Bay Marine Services is no longer, seems John closed up in Aug. Neighboring business’ near his said they did not think he was reopening. What a shame to lose that resource here. I’m not sure if it was his business that installed the moorings, but there are a dozen new moorings, free of charge at this time. There is also ample anchorage in good holding sand, 20-40′ if all the moorings are taken. The front row seems to be used primarily by the local tourist boats, all the other rows open to yachties.

    Markets: Jimmy’s on the main street is the best stocked nearby, while the Penny Saver Market is a 30 min walk towards the city or a quick cheap cab ride. Largest in the area, but not as well stocked as what you can find in Trinidad.

    LPG: the only place on the island is at NP by the airport. We threw our bottle in a rucksack and walked it in 25 min. Just go around the airport past the bottom of the runway by the water, and the NP station is just on the other side of the runway.

    Taxis: they are cheap if you are on the main road, but will charge extra if they pick up or drop off anywhere other than the main road. A taxi into Scarborough from Store Bay should cost 7TT/person and takes 20 min or so. Just stand on the side of the road and wait. Shortly a car will beep or flash the headlights, that is your cab. There are no signs identifying it.

    Clearance: We had no problem clearing in from here. The officials in Scarborough were friendly and helpful.

    Food: Numerous food stalls along the beach or restaurants in town, of all prices. The BEST Bake and Shark sandwich (a local Tobagonian dish) are by Jackie. Find her M-F 8-1 at Gourmet Doubles next to the petrol station or F-Sa nights at the purple cart on the corner by the flea market. All other bake and sharks pale in comparison to hers!

    Petrol/Diesel: A short walk up the main road with your cans, and a taxi ride back. Ask the driver to deviate off the main st to drop you by Bago’s Bar close to your dinghy.

    Water: is hard to source here as there are no taps anywhere nearby. Mt Irvine Bay just around the corner has a tap on the public beach with good water. This was the closest and easiest we found, and a pleasant 1hr sail around Buckoo Reef made hauling water longer, but more enjoyable.

    Jet Skis: mostly insane on weekends and holidays. Don’t swim too far away from your boat as they like to use the moored boats as a slalom course…

    We had no problems with crime, theft, or even getting hustled on the streets while we were here.

    Tobago, Store Bay.

    The jet skis are back! You wrote they were banned, but they are not anymore. They are driving us crazy going in circles around the boats. The most horrible invention. Anyway, a warning for cruisers, Store Bay is not quiet.

    There are jet skis and the glass-bottomed boats often play blaring music when they go in and out….but the jet skis are the worst nuisance in the bay. They even use them one hour after dark, which is dangerous as well.

    Also just a note, on Open CPN, Store Bay is not marked and we didn’t check Google Earth before leaving and were headed to Charlotteville. Due to weather, we pulled into Store Bay, but we had to guess it was Milford Bay. Might be a good idea to write both names for those who use Open CPN. They are next to each other and don’t actually know the difference.
