Tobago Cays Security Advisory

12° 38.2′ N · 61° 21.4′ W · approximate

The Cays are a wonderful place to stargaze behind the reef, but boardings, burglaries and armed assaults have occurred in the past, especially when the anchorage empties out off-season.

Practical

Coordinate is derived: the lagoon anchorage area. Noonsite: anchor near other yachts, secure the boat at night whether aboard or not, and remember popular high-season anchorages become isolated in the off-season. Lift and lock dinghies.
