Tobago game fishing tournament - This event takes place in prime fishing season when marlin, sailfish and other offshore gamefish species are plentiful. The tournament venue is either in Pigeon Point Beach, or in Charlotteville, which is a move made with the consensus of anglers in past competitions.

Turtle Nesting season - March is traditionally the best time to catch a glimpse of giant Leatherback turtles coming up on the beach to lay eggs. Two of the most popular beaches for this is 'Turtle Beach' and 'Courland Bay' on the Caribbean side of the island; although the turtles also come up on many other beaches surrounding the island that are not accessible by land. Some hotels have turtle-watch service, where they call you (could be late at night) to come out on the beach if there is a turtle sighting.
