We will be visiting Castara for our first time in Dec. and can only imagine from reading and seeing pics about this place that it is exactly where we would like to spend our vacations. This is so sad the these small island governments do what "they" think is going to make things "better". It is getting harder and harder to find places like this to vacation. This is our ideal setting we hate tourist traps and all inclusives. Was just sent this today.
Please sign petition if you agree.
We usually don’t do this, but please read the email below and find out about the outrageous plan the Tobago House of Assembly has in mind for the beautiful charlotteville waterfront. Please help to fight this!

Keep Charlotteville Beautiful
The THA has plans to place a huge concrete building right along our idyllic fishing village's beachfront. The plans are so modern that the construction would be glass-fronted, be multi-storey & have air-conditioning instead of our lovely balmy sea breezes & natural beachfront.
As villagers living here, we have not been consulted on these plans - they have been thrust upon us - & all attempts to open discussions or debates have led to empty promises & meetings not kept - even though we have drawn up our own plans for enhancing the present shops & stores in a manner more in-keeping with our village at the end of a tiny Caribbean Island.... please visit Charlotteville Beachfront Movement on Facebook to see all plans & discussions..
