Car
If you're driving, head towards the village of Buccoo. From Scarborough, take the Claude Noel Highway (Route 1) towards the southwest. Continue on this road until you reach the junction at Buccoo. Turn left onto the Buccoo Road. Follow the signs towards Buccoo Reef. Once in Buccoo, park at the designated areas near the beach. From there, you will need to hire a glass-bottom boat or a local tour operator to take you to Nylon Pool, which is about a 15-20 minute boat ride away. Expect to pay around TT$50-100 per person for the boat ride.
Public Transportation
For those using public transport, you can take a taxi or a 'maxi taxi' (shared minivan) from Scarborough to Buccoo. Ask the driver to drop you off at Buccoo Beach. Once you arrive, you will need to hire a glass-bottom boat or join a tour to Nylon Pool. The cost for the boat ride is approximately TT$50-100 per person. Make sure to confirm the return time with the boat operator to avoid being stranded.
Walking
If you're already in Buccoo and prefer walking, make your way to Buccoo Beach where you will find local vendors offering boat rides to Nylon Pool. It's a short walk from the village center to the beach, about 5-10 minutes. Look for signs or ask locals for directions. Ensure that you negotiate the boat fare prior to getting on the boat.
