点评:Englishman's Bay, 2 miles beyond Castara on Tobago's winding Northside Rd., has to be one of the most fabulous beaches on earth. The picture-perfect glimpse from the hill above as you approach is just a taster. Half a mile further on, you turn left down the (marked) short, bumpy-bone-crunching 100yd approach road which leads you to the ample and usually quiet car park at Eula's (green) beach restaurant with - beyond - the stunning tropical palm-bedecked sugar-sand beach. A meal for two at Eula's costs about £16. I could lounge at a table overlooking the beach listening to the ocean for hours. Eula, the hostess, is welcoming and wonderful. There's a small craft shop and sun loungers available at 50TT. (9TT to the £ at the time of writing). In all the 10yrs I've been visiting, the beach has never seemed crowded and the bay is quiet and jet-ski free. It's about 400yds. wide and "typically tropical" with palms swaying in the breeze and pelicans diving for fish in the sea. There's a small reef to the right of Eula's. The sea is great for paddling and swimming and safe for accompanied children - with two important provisos: firstly, there's a pretty steep slope into the water which can catch you unawares; secondly the sea on occasions can be rough. So be careful.
If you like a busy beach with company, music, sea sports and boat trips Tobago's lively South West corner with Crowne Point, Store Bay and Pigeon Point is more for you! But as you travel further north and east along the coast beyond Plymouth the atmosphere becomes slower, less busy, more relaxed which leads you to our favorite resort (plenty of accommodation!) - Castara. To truly explore Tobago it's best to hire a car. If you do I think you'd be a fool not to visit Englishman's Bay.
翻译:位于卡斯塔拉以北两英里处,沿着多巴哥蜿蜒的北侧公路,便是英国人湾,它绝对是地球上最迷人的海滩之一。从山顶俯瞰,那如画般的景色只是惊鸿一瞥。再往前走半英里,左转进入一条(有路标的)短短的、颠簸不已的百码小路,这条路通往尤拉海滩餐厅(绿色的)宽敞且通常很安静的停车场。停车场外便是令人叹为观止的热带棕榈树环绕的细白沙滩。在尤拉餐厅享用双人餐大约需要16英镑。我可以慵懒地躺在俯瞰海滩的餐桌旁,聆听海浪声,消磨几个小时。女主人尤拉热情好客,令人愉悦。餐厅里还有一家小型工艺品商店,日光浴躺椅售价50特立尼达和多巴哥元(撰写本文时,1英镑兑9特立尼达和多巴哥元)。在我过去十年的探访中,海滩从未显得拥挤,海湾也十分宁静,没有摩托艇的踪迹。这片海滩宽约400码,典型的热带风情,棕榈树随风摇曳,鹈鹕在海中俯冲捕鱼。尤拉海滩右侧有一小片礁石。这片海域非常适合戏水和游泳,对有成人陪同的儿童来说也很安全——但有两点需要注意:首先,海滩边缘有一处相当陡峭的斜坡,可能会让你措手不及;其次,海面有时会比较汹涌。所以一定要小心。
如果你喜欢热闹的海滩,喜欢有朋友陪伴、音乐、水上运动和乘船游览,那么多巴哥岛充满活力的西南角,包括皇冠角、斯托尔湾和鸽子角,会更适合你!但如果你沿着海岸线继续向北和向东,越过普利茅斯,你会发现这里的氛围变得更加悠闲,人也更少,更加轻松惬意,最终你会来到我们最喜欢的度假胜地——卡斯塔拉(住宿选择丰富!)。想要真正探索多巴哥岛,最好租一辆车。如果你租了车,我觉得你绝对不能错过英国人湾。
