Isle de Ronde

After leaving the Grenada Yacht Club, you will sail along the Grenada west coast.Depending one your time of departure and the wind, you may stop for lunch along the way or at Isle de Rhonde. Isle de Rhonde is the largest private island of the Caribbean. It is only inhabited by 37 fishermen living in a village at the south of the Island. The yacht anchorage is on the west side of the island, it is calm and has great swimming. There are 3 small beaches in this cove that can be accessed by dinghy. If you are into hiking, there is a nice hike starting from the gully on the south side of the middle beach. It offers a beautiful lookout point over the bay, Grenada and Carriacou. For snorkelling, there is a beautiful snorkelling site between the 2 rocks of the Sisters, at the south of the anchorage. You can easily access it by dinghy from the anchorage, but someone will have to stay in the dinghy and drive it around while the group snorkels.

Sandy Island

One of the cruisers' favourite, Sandy Island is an amazing anchorage just in front of Carriacou's most popular beach. Here you can snorkel, paddle, kayak, explore the little isle or Paradise Beach

Anse La Roche Bay

Next stop will be Anse la Roche, a beautiful bay at the north of Carriacou with a beautiful rock formation where you can snorkel. There is a beach restaurant and bar that serves the most amazing lobster lunch if you want to book it.

Petite Carenage

Petit Carenage is at the northern tip of Carriacou. With Union Island and the Northern Grenadines as our background, we enjoyed your lunch on board and swim in the crystal clear water. Spend the night at the Windward anchorage. If you do not feel like cooking you can order a pizza from Pizza Meh Heart, the best pizzeria in Carriacou located a short walk from the dinghy jetty. you can visit the village of Windward. The village is famous for its traditional boat building industry and some of the most beautiful Carriacou sloops have been built right there on the beach. If you have the time, you can dinghy to the jetty and walk along the coastal road where you will find several workshops with boats at various stages of construction.

Carriacou Island

The two islands form a marine protected area with a large reef starting north of Saline to the north of White. This reef offers a great drift dive/snorkel. There is also a reef around White Island and it can easily be approached by dinghy. It is best not to swim outside of the reef because of the strong current. When going from White Island to Saline Island, you can sail around the back of White Island and the fishing at this area is great (it is just out of the protected area so you can fish there). In the anchorage of Saline Island, you can swim, paddle, kayak or snorkel. There are often turtles and rays there. Kenroy, the caretaker of the island, lives there and also runs a great vegan restaurant using produce grown on the island. However, his presence on the island also means that opportunities to explore the island are now restricted. You can ask him, and he will gladly take you around his farm and probably let you venture around the large saltwater pond too.

Tyrell Bay

Tyrell Bay is a good place for provisioning and most certainly to refuel the water and diesel before heading back to Grenada. You can also take this opportunity to explore Carriacou from there.
