Carriacou Island, Caribbean island in Grenada
The 13-square-mile Carriacou Island features 956-foot High North Peak, numerous coral reefs, and multiple beaches along the southeastern Caribbean Sea shoreline.
Initially inhabited by Amerindians between 500 and 1000 AD, Carriacou underwent French settlement in 1740 before British forces gained control in 1763.
The Big Drum dance performances, Shakespeare Mas celebrations, and traditional wooden boat building demonstrate the fusion of African and European heritage.
Visitors can reach Carriacou through a 90-minute ferry ride or 20-minute flight from Grenada, with temperatures ranging between 27°C and 32°C year-round.
The island maintains 33 distinct dive sites where swimmers regularly encounter nurse sharks, barracudas, stingrays, and sea turtles in clear waters.
