Details About Carriacou

Destinations » Caribbean » Caribbean - Eastern » Carriacou


Carriacou is also the southernmost of the Grenadines, a string of nearly 200 islands (some only tennis court size) between St. Vincent and Grenada. While some of Carriacou's sister islands (Bequia, Mustique, PSV, and Palm Island) earned tony reputations years ago as playgrounds for the yachting crowd, Carriacou's always been a quiet, less touristy place for those who truly want to get away from it all.

Attractions

On Carriacou, you’ll find NO casinos, discos, five star restaurants or fancy boutiques. What you will find are great beaches, great hiking, beautiful views and, for all you divers, (pardon the expression) breath-taking reefs.

Adventures

Which brings us to the island’s name. As every guidebook will tell you, “Carriacou” is Amerindian for “land of reefs.” No surprise then that it attracts divers from around the world. An extra special diving attraction is an active underwater volcano.

Currency

Carriacou uses the local Eastern Caribbean Dollars (EC$).
