Mansome vegetable market
About
Mansome vegetable market in Tobago stands in Bon Accord, at the southern end of the island near the Crown Point resort area.
That location places it close to the hotels and guesthouses around Pigeon Point and Buccoo, with Scarborough a short drive north and the villages of Castara, Charlotteville, Roxborough and Plymouth further around the coast. A 4.4 out of 5 average from 79 reviews reflects a market that shoppers return to.
First-time visitors can expect a produce market where fruit and vegetables are laid out for sale, and the stallholder trade gives it a local character rather than a supermarket format. The Caribbean dry season runs roughly from December to May, when rainfall is lower and trade winds steady, which is also when the island's fresh produce is at its most abundant.
Minibuses and shared taxis are common public transport on Caribbean islands, often leaving only when full, so getting to Bon Accord without a car takes a little planning. Creole languages with French and English roots are spoken widely across the Caribbean alongside official tongues. Green and hawksbill turtles nest on Caribbean beaches, and coral reefs support reef fish and spiny lobster.
