Explore, Carriacou Island

 OttonJana Says:  You might try to shed your urban frenzy on this unique island. You could set a tight agenda and try to schedule in everything within a rigid time slot. Or NOT. If you want to cover the entire island you will need a 4wheel drive vehicle. There are a few miles of paved road... 

Day trip to Tobago Cays

Day trip to Tobago Cays, Carriacou Island

 dbeatty Says:  The Tobago Cays are a chain of islands north of Carriacou in the Grenadines. There is fabulous snorkeling there. You will see lots of reef life and hopefully turtles. This area has been designated a Marine Park. You are not allowed to harm or take anything in the water or...

Carriacou Villa Goyaba: A perfect stay

Carriacou Villa Goyaba: A perfect stay, Carriacou Island

 ndelforno Says:  A very pleasant stay. Villa Goyaba was comfortable, and exactly as we expected after a visit to the web site. The staff of the rental agency was effective and cooperative. We appreciated the location (a few steps from an almost private cove), the fruits of the garden, the... 

Paradise Inn, Carriacou: Paradise Inn - Best Bargain In the Caribbean

Paradise Inn, Carriacou: Paradise Inn - Best Bargain In the Caribbean, Carriacou Island

 TuanRonski Says:  The Paradise Inn is located on Paradise Beach on Carriacou Island, and gives you the feeling of being Caribbean- nothing extravagant here. You get a feeling of being welcomed to enjoy the best of what the Caribbean has to offer- hospitality, good food, and a host of low-key... 

Beachcomber: Fabulous rental

Beachcomber: Fabulous rental, Carriacou Island

 dbeatty Says:  We stayed in a vacation rental home right on the beach. It was very comfortable. It had air conditioning and all the comforts of home. There were even fire flies outside at night! We had the beach practically to ourselves the whole time. Steps from the beach! 

Restaurants  

Grandview Hotel: the most tender conch ever

Grandview Hotel: the most tender conch ever, Carriacou Island

 OttonJana Says:  This was the most tender and flavorful serving of Lamdi or Conch I have ever sampled. Very nice dinning room or have lunch out on the pool deck. 

The Roundhouse: passion fruit sorbe

The Roundhouse: passion fruit sorbe, Carriacou Island

 OttonJana Says:  You can't go wrong for lunch or dinner. Have a late lunch and take your time. Stroll down to the water and cool off. 

Transportation  

The 'Public Bus' System

The 'Public Bus' System, Carriacou Island

 OttonJana Says:  If you choose to do a day trip from Grenada or from the Grenadines, you can get around Carriacou on the its few miles of paved road using the small vans that serve as public transport. Costs range from 1 to 3 EC. Don't expect a regular schedule or uniform appearance to the... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Shipwreck Beach

Shipwreck Beach, Carriacou Island

 dbeatty Says:  AT the northern tip of the island at Gun Point there is a shipwreck. There is a beautiful white sandy beach next to it, very long. The surf break is pretty strong so be careful and there is broken coral in the surf too so I'd advise some water shoes. The beach is deserted... 

Historical Sugar Mills

Historical Sugar Mills, Carriacou Island

 dbeatty Says:  I love to just drive around to see what I can find in a new place. Here are some sugar mill ruins we found. Aren't they fabulous? We passed them on the way up to the Scenic Overlook at the hospital in Belair.

 From the mangrove point at the eastern end by the airstrip, the beach gently curves around ending at a rocky promotory crowned by the large Las Tortugas villa. There are several places to eat, drink...

Undiscovered Paradise (Under Constrution)

 That is what the Carib meant by Carriacou, and that is what you get here- beautiful beaches, stunning reefs, colorful waters, and succulant seafood. Don't look for a Walmart or McDonald's here, nor a...

 It's not hard to be in Carriacou. Getting there is another matter. In December of 2006 we flew non-stop on Air Jamaica from New York into Grenada. From Grenada you must either take a small plane, SVG...

 We arrived from Grenada. The speed boat takes 1 hour and half. The cross was nice. We passed near a little deserted ilets. The dolphins jumped around the boat. At the jetty, nobody was offering us...
