Carriacou


Upon leaving Grenada, we dropped into Carriacou and spent a couple of days anchored in Tyrell Bay before sailing down around the souht end to Saline Island to meet up with some friends there. We also spent a couple of days anchored off Hillsborough, the tiny village and capital, and snorkelled around Sandy Island just off the town's shores.

Carriacou is the largest of the Grenadines and is characterised by its hilly terrain and beautiful white beaches. It has several natural harbors and many coral reefs and small offshore islets. Its population is only around 5,000.


We wanted to get over to Union Island for Christmas so didn't manage to really get to know the island but it certainly has an appeal.
