Carriacou: The interest of Carriacou is generally its gentle, unhurried life, its beaches and increasingly its nature, but generally there is not a lot to see. Outside the main town there are a couple of villages and there are a few ruins of plantation houses inland which can be fun to explore on a hike (try Dumfries, Belair, Craigston and Dover). Look out for the skeletal hulls of local ships under construction. They are built mostly in Windward and in Tyrell Bay. Boat building is a long-standing tradition in Carriacou. If you are on-island and hear of a boat launch, definitely go along. Discover the islands' history at the Carriacou Museum in Hillsborough, where there's an impressive collection of Amerindian artifacts and mementoes dating back to 18th century when the islands were occupied by the French and British. For such a small community Carriacou has an abundance of churches. Catholic churches are situated in Hillsborough on Main Street, L'Esterre, Harvey Vale, Top Hill, Bogles and Windward and Anglican churches in Hillsborough and Harvey Vale. Other churches include Seventh Day Adventist, Evangelical in Hillsborough, Jehovah's Witness in Beausejour and Spiritual Baptist in Dover. |
