About Huevos (island)
Huevos is a small uninhabited island in the Bocas Islands region of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, off the northwest coast of Trinidad. It is part of the archipelago of small islands at the entrance to the Gulf of Paria.
The island lies a short distance from the larger Bocas islands such as Monos and Chacachacare and is typically visited by private boat for short shore visits, fishing or snorkelling around nearby reef patches. There is no visitor infrastructure on the island and landings are generally informal.

Situated northwest of Port of Spain, Huevos sits among the narrow channels that separate the Bocas islands from mainland Trinidad.
- No facilities: No permanent infrastructure exists on the island, so visitors must bring water, supplies and their own transport.
- Best time and conditions: Landings are often on rocky shorelines; calm sea conditions are best for snorkelling around nearby reefs.
