Buccoo Reef and the Nylon Pool
Location
Buccoo Reef is the largest coral reef in Tobago and was declared a marine park in 1973.
Tragically, a combination of pollution from land run-off and physical damage from reef walking and anchors has degraded much of the reef, but efforts are now being made to rescue and restore this important habitat.
Behind it lies the Nylon Pool, a shallow in-sea white ground coral pool rumoured to have rejuvenating properties. It was named by Princess Margaret in 1962.
