Carriacou (pronounced 'carry-a-cou' and meaning
isle of reefs) is an undiscovered paradise offering
the perfect hideaway for those who want to escape the
beaten tourist track and are looking for privacy and
seclusion. Carriacou has a natural beauty which adds to its
appeal and has often been described by travel writers
as an 'uncut diamond'..
Carriacou has many unspoilt deserted beaches, pristine
coves and countless outlying uninhabited islands. Carriacou's
interior consists of wooded mountainous terrain giving
spectacular views towards Grenada to the south and
the rest of the Grenadine islands to the north.
Where is Carriacou...
Carriacou is located in the Eastern Caribbean, 12° north of the equator (outside of the hurricane belt) and approximately 40 miles from Grenada. Carriacou is part of the tri-island state of Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.
Carriacou, at just 13 square miles and with a population
of approximately 6,000 people, is the largest and most
southern island in the Grenadines - the small island
chain between St Vincent and Grenada where some of the
most
exclusive island destinations in the world, including
Mustique, the playground for the rich and famous, are
hidden away. |
