Just throw on the snorkel gear and enter their world.<\/p>\n<p>The best place to observe them is in and around the turtle-watching reserve just off the southeastern shores of Baradal.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_75494\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-75494\" style=\"width: 2121px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-75494\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/green-turtle-tobago.jpg\" alt=\"green turtles of tobago\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1414\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-75494\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Green turtles of Tobago<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Beaches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Private and secluded powder white sand, clear turquoise blue seas, palm trees swaying in the breeze.

Sightings of nurse sharks and eagle rays are also common here along with lots of conch on the seabeds.<\/p>\n<p>A bit further to the east is Sail Rock, a pinnacle site for advanced divers.
