Carriacou
An undiscovered paradise offering visitors the perfect hideaway vacation.
The Grenadine Island of Carriacou, located in the Eastern Caribbean, is an undiscovered paradise offering visitors the perfect hideaway vacation. The many white sand beaches of this island coupled with numerous coves provide areas for relaxation in the warm tropical weather of Carriacou. The natural beauty is a sight to behold, with the interior of the island made up of wooded mountainous terrain, which offers views of Grenada to the south and other Grenadine Islands to the north. The island of Carriacou boasts several hotels and resorts, small in nature but of the finest quality.
The attractions in Carriacou are numerous. For a holiday adventure take a trip to High North Nature Reserve. A trek up the trails of this amazing natural landscape will take you to the island’s highest point, High North Peak. From the nature reserve venture across to Gun Point, a popular tourist attraction named after the cannon erected by the British in 1780. Just below this landmark, you can also see Petit Careenage Bay which is home to L’islet Beach also known as Turtle Beach. Join the Kido Ecological Research Team at night and get a glimpse of the turtles as they come up the sandy beach to lay their eggs.
Being the land of reefs, be sure to go on a diving adventure whilst in Carriacou. See a range of biodiversity and be amazed at the beauty beneath the surface. You can also take a trip by boat to the White Island Marine Park, which draws snorkelers with its crystal clear waters and marine life. Take in the culture of this beautiful island along any of its beaches, where you are sure to find several fishing boats and sloops. The art of boat building is a cherished activity within Carriacou, so much so that festivals are held to launch boats after they are built. You can also look forward to a parade of festivity and colour at the Carriacou carnival during February or the Maroon and String Band Music Festival in April.
