This small rural island has good beaches and a pace of life that can only be described as slow motion. There are 12,000 residents on Carriacou, and half of them are goats who forage the dry scrubby landscape of cacti, acacias and splashes of bougainvillea.

While the island's low-key character and natural harbour have long attracted yachters, few other Caribbean travellers have Carriacou on their itinerary. Consequently the beaches are uncrowded and finding a room is seldom a problem. Carriacou has fantastic views of the neighbouring Grenadines.
