Nylon Pool

Nylon Pool is a shallow sandy diving site near Scarborough that features consistently clear water throughout the year, making the seafloor easily visible. The white sandy bottom and calm shallow waters make it suitable for snorkeling and exploring the underwater environment without needing advanced diving skills.

The site was shaped by geological processes over thousands of years, with coral formations and sand deposits creating the landscape visible today. This natural lagoon developed through the action of ocean currents and sediment buildup that gradually established its distinctive characteristics.

Local people and visitors treat this place as a natural retreat where swimming and relaxing in the shallow waters are everyday activities on warm days. The white sand and calm setting make it a popular spot for families and groups to spend time together by the sea.

Reaching this site requires taking a boat from Scarborough, so bring sunscreen, water, and protective gear for sun exposure. Check weather conditions before planning a visit since the site is in open water and conditions can change throughout the day.

The sand particles here contain high concentrations of calcium carbonate, creating a silky texture in the water that inspired the location's name. This mineral composition is what makes the water feel different from typical beaches and contributes to its distinctive appeal.
