Grenada

Carriacou Island

Located to the north of Grenada, this island stands for an interesting and picture-perfect tourist destination where Caribbean tropical vegetation is a God-sent gift for nature lovers. Travelers can see the jaw-dropping view of birds fluttering over the waters quite near the coastline. Travelers can drop by other small islands very close to Carriacao and enjoy their excellent beaches marked by wonderful sea bottoms and a great variety of colorful fish that lure scuba divers and snorkeling buffs. Some of them are ideal for water sports and nautical activities. These are some of the attractions travelers will find in Carriacao, plus hassle-free lodging and eateries. There's also a small town of fishermen somewhat near the beach whose residents make a living out of shipbuilding. Schooner builders show off their artful skills as they make boats with their bare hands. Don't miss out on the chance to have fun in the Tombstone Parties, a unique celebration brimming with color, beauty and different artistic manifestations that display cultural traditions and the town's origins.

Tips

A favorite sport is hunting land crabs by torchlight in the pit of the extinct volcano, the Quill.
