Carriacou is part of Grenada, which means you need to go through customs formalities at the jetty at Hillsborough.

It is better to arrive during the daytime when dropping anchor here. Tyrell Bay is the most popular mooring point, as it is a large, sheltered bay, ideal when the wind is gusty.

Carriacou is a peaceful island, where you can see old buildings and modest dwellings, and where agriculture is the main activity. Furthermore, the local market is a great place for stocking up on fruit, vegetables and other fresh products.
