Airports Surf Guide

This surf spot, located next to Tobago's Crown Point International (hence the name), is a hollow right-hand break on the southwest coast of Tobago. It is not very consistent, but when it does break it can be a world-class barrel depending on the swell direction. There is also a left breaking at times, which tends to be short but is just as good as the right.
