Hello Marko
There are various places in Castara listed in our Accommodation listings that should within your budget of US$45 per day. I am not familiar with any of them and can't remember any names, so you will have to wade through our Apartments and Cottages listings. The only one that I can remember, because I added it only recently, is Porridge's Place. You couldn't hope for nicer people than Porridge and his wife Jeanell, so I think I'm safe in recommending them.
I think spear-fishing is frowned upon everywhere in the world now. It is also not a very safe sport in Caribbean waters - unless you fancy arguing over the catch with a barracuda.

Apartment in Castara
Hello Marko
You say you have noticed the Naturalist in your search, my wife and I were there in October and I think it would meet your requirements perfectly you are only 25 metres from the beach and can use an outside shower before going back to your room.
The ideal room would be one called Kingfish which also has a nice little covered terrace on which you can relax.
Whilst I agree with Steve and his comments about spear fishing I did notice that a couple of the local fisherman were out with their spears but I have to say these guys are experts and if you did try it you really need to seek their advice.

You are able to get the very basic groceries in some of the small shops of Castara. For the rest you have to travel to Scarborough.Marko C wrote:Thank you Steve, I hope that someone reply us; is Naturalist B.R. good for child and enough groceries to buy simply things(food).And good restaurants with sea food,
The restaurants in the village offer good traditional food for a decent price.
Even though I have seen tourists at the beach with small children, I guess that the sea is not calm enough for them to play in by themselves.

My best suggestion is to read our articles in the Tobago/Getting Around menu.

Hi
The Naturalist is perfect ... I have been going there for the last 4 years with my whole family including 3 kids.
The only precaution you should take with the kids is sandflies on Castara ... the children always like to play in the sand so make sure they take plenty of protection (see the Health/Security Forum) to avoid nasty sandfly bites ... having said that, I have never known a child to get sandfly bites ... they seem to prefer adults (or those with alcohol in their blood !!!!) ... anyway ...
Ancle, who owns the Naturalist also rents cars and is quite cheap. His cars are OK but he is happy to run them with quite bald tyres (I had 2 punctures last year) ... you just get what you pay for.
Regards

If you are up for the 'bald tyre' challenge.
It only costs 20TT (£2 in UK money) to have a puncture repaired and there are plenty of tyre menders around ... they put a little tab on it just like the ones you use for blow up toys on the beach !!!!
I spent last year avoiding stones on the roads ... It was quite alot of fun actually !!
