Castara is a seaside village on the leeward (north) coast of the island of Tobago, the smaller of the two islands in the twin-island Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. Castara's economy is dependent primarily on fishing and agriculture, with tourism playing an increasingly important role since the 1990s.[1]

Former prime minister and president of Trinidad and Tobago A.N.R. Robinson was raised in Castara.
