Rock Island (Trinidad and Tobago)
Rock Island is a small island in Trinidad and Tobago, part of the ''Five Islands'' group of islands. It is located in the Gulf of Paria, approximately 2 kilometres off the main island of Trinidad from Point Gourde. Of the "Five Islands", which are actually made up of six different islands,〔de Verteuil 2006, p.11〕 Rock is the second smallest (after Craig Island) and the most western of the group.
==Characteristics==
Rock was named after its physical characteristics,〔de Verteuil 2006, p.12〕 due its small size and sparse vegetation. The island is very small, no more than 50 metres in length and 30 metres in breadth at its widest point. The island, as with the other Five Islands, is made up primarily of limestone, as the islands were geologically formed by a raised coral reef. Today the island is uninhabited, with remnants of its last use as a quarantine depot being reclaimed by trees.
