This natural marvel offers an inviting escape for travelers seeking tranquility and beauty. Situated in the Caribbean Sea, just off the Pigeon Point Peninsula, the Nylon Pool is famed for its unique combination of attributes—it’s a naturally occurring pool where the water is only waist-deep, even in the middle of the sea.

A fantastic place to unwind and soak up the sun. The water is clear and shallow, making it perfect for wading or simply sitting back and relaxing. Take a glass bottom boat out there and see the coral reef on the way.
