Speyside Waterwheel
In the north of Tobago, there exists a small village known for fishing, birdwatching,
scuba diving and snorkeling. This is Speyside where you’ll find some of the best coral
reef on the island. It is understandably a popular dive site, although Buccoo Reef in
the island’s south west, is more internationally known.
In the early 1900’s sugar cane was the economic mainstay of the island. Today, ruins of
plantations, water wheels and other reminders of that part of the island’s history can
be seen at various spots on te island, including the village of Speyside.
