Carriacou boast the most beautiful coral reefs. Carriacou is known as the ‘Land of Reefs’, with shallow clear waters: ideal for snorkelling. Occupants of the island are independent and fiercely traditional. On Carriacou – home to 6,000 people – the musical customs of their African descendants can be experienced at the Carriacou Maroon and String Band Music Festival held in the month of April. 

Things to do

Paradise Beach – Paradise Beach is it!! It is worth a day trip or a couple nights away to look at what the Caribbean really still is.!!!!

Sandy Island – Take a boat from the Paradise Beach bar {Hardwood} out to Sandy Island. You can depend on them to come back and get you. It’s a great snorkel and a beautiful private beach.

Hardwood Bar & The T-Shirt Shop – These two alone are worth the trip, {also on Paradise Beach}.

Island Tour – Take a ride around the island and return on the afternoon ferry!

Brian’s – Brian’s in Hillsborough serves a good pizza for lunch!

Main Street Deli – The Deli on Main Street is a great find. If you are staying on Carriacou, you need to stop in here. The other grocer’s in Hillsborough are extremely helpful, you may need to stop at a few places to find what you need, but they have plenty.
