Tobago
One of the last remaining "undiscovered" Caribbean islands, Tobago has long been overshadowed by its better-known sister island of Trinidad. A powershift may be in the making as of 2008, however, as Tobago's pink-sand beaches and serene waters became accessible for the first time by direct flights from New York and Atlanta on Delta Airlines in December 2007. The new flights allow visitors to bypass Trinidad altogether to reach Tobago's secluded and romantic shores, where an unpretentious, slow-paced, and eco-friendly atmosphere prevails, relatively free of tourists and overdevelopment – for now. Get a head start on the tourist crowd by visiting the "Galapagos of the West Indies” next year and discover some of the region’s best dive sites (three wrecks are located offshore), nesting grounds for leatherback turtles, and one of the oldest protected rainforests in the Western Hemisphere. When not communing with nature, two championship 18-hole golf courses, duty-free shopping, and seafood restaurants (think lobster, crab, and conch) are bound to make the trek worthwhile.
