Hillsborough Bay Tobago iStock Getty Images

A series of stock photograph by exclusive iStock Getty Images contributor Ben Wehlage.



The series of shots covers Hillsborough Bay in Tobago. (Trinidad and Tobago).



Hope Bay (Hillsborough Bay)



Hope Bay is readily recognizable due to the lines of waves breaking into surf as the sea rushes in over the shallow waters. The beach is a very long stretch of black volcanic sand and the invariably deserted. There are strong rip tides out to sea, so the bay is not considered safe for swimming, but it does make an excellent walking beach.
