Caledonia Island

Caledonia Island is an island in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It is one of "The Five Islands" group of six small islands lying west of Port of Spain in the Gulf of Paria. It has an approximate area of just 1.9 hectares. It is the largest out of the six islands.

It was originally called Marlin Spike Hall, Caledonia and Craig Island were joined by a man-made causeway which was built in order to replace an eroded stirp of land. As of this, it was believed that the two islands were originally just one island. This explains the name "Five Islands".
