Canaan is a quiet residential neighborhood in Tobago, situated close to the island's airport. Its main draw for visitors is its proximity to boat tours departing for Buccoo Reef and the famous Nylon Pool, a shallow, sandy-bottomed area in the sea. The area itself has a relaxed, local feel with a few guesthouses and eateries. It serves as a convenient base for exploring the southwestern coast's natural attractions.
