Arriving at the port
On Tobago's northeastern coast, Charlotteville is a charming coastal village in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago.
Cruise ships do not dock here; passengers are brought ashore by tender.
Charlotteville is small, with the area around the landing point forming its effective "downtown".
Charlotteville Beach is a peaceful place to relax, with lovely sand and wide views of the beautiful surrounding scenery. Welcoming, friendly local people add to the experience and make a visit particularly enjoyable.
Money
Trinidad and Tobago uses the Trinidad and Tobago dollar, also called the TT (pronounced teetee). US dollars are widely accepted. Many stores accept Visa and Mastercard, whereas American Express, Diners' Club, Discover, JCB and other cards work in only a few places.
