Tobago Cays Lobster BBQ & Food Vendors
Stop for a beach BBQ between swims. Local vendors serve grilled lunches in the Cays, with lobster available in season. Contact us before your boat trip and we can help reserve your lunch.
Lobster Season
Lobster season matters.
The Tobago Cays Marine Park regulations state not to buy lobster out of season, from May 1 through August 31. During that closed period, ask for fish, chicken, vegetarian sides, or another legal plan.
Outside the closed season, from September through April, lobster can often be arranged as part of a beach BBQ, depending on vendor availability, weather, and the route. Contact us before your Tobago Cays day and we can help reserve BBQ lobster with a local vendor when it is legal and available.

Lunch with local vendors
Local vendors from Union Island and nearby communities prepare beach BBQ lunches in the Cays. Romeo is one of our favorites. Tell us your date and group size, and we can check availability and help reserve your lunch.
If you have dietary needs, say so before the boat day. Once you are in the Marine Park, options are intentionally simple.
