Catholic Island and its rocks north-west of Mayreau host seabird nesting and roosting colonies protected within the Tobago Cays Marine Park.
Practical
Position is Catholic Island as mapped in OpenStreetMap; there is a light on the island and an east-cardinal beacon on Jondell rock to the south-east. Park rule: observe from a boat with binoculars or a telescope and do not disturb nesting or roosting seabirds. Reef and rocks surround the island; give it a good offing.
