Martinique

At the bottom of the Lesser Antilles Chain, Grenada and Carriacou are tropical Caribbean jewels with a low level of tourism and development.  High rain forest covered hills, waterfall hikes, beautiful deserted beaches and a friendly local vibe all combine to make the country a favourite hideout of the retired cruising fraternity during hurricane season. You will love the islands for the same reasons, and the country’s Northern-most island of Petit Martinique is right next door to the Tobago Cays Marine Park, making the islands a popular destination for sailing.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”” parallax=”” parallax_image=”” bg_type=”” parallax_style=”” bg_image_new=”” layer_image=”” bg_image_repeat=”” bg_image_size=”” bg_cstm_size=”” bg_img_attach=”” parallax_sense=”” bg_image_posiiton=”” animation_direction=”” animation_repeat=”” video_url=”” video_url_2=”” u_video_url=”” video_opts=”” video_poster=”” u_start_time=”” u_stop_time=”” viewport_vdo=”” enable_controls=”” bg_override=”” disable_on_mobile_img_parallax=”” parallax_content=”” parallax_content_sense=”” fadeout_row=”” fadeout_start_effect=”” enable_overlay=”” overlay_color=”” overlay_pattern=”” overlay_pattern_opacity=”” overlay_pattern_size=”” overlay_pattern_attachment=”” multi_color_overlay=”” multi_color_overlay_opacity=”” seperator_enable=”” seperator_type=”” seperator_position=”” seperator_shape_size=”” seperator_svg_height=”” seperator_shape_background=”” seperator_shape_border=”” seperator_shape_border_color=”” seperator_shape_border_width=”” icon_type=”” icon=”” icon_size=”” icon_color=”” icon_style=”” icon_color_bg=”” icon_border_style=”” icon_color_border=”” icon_border_size=”” icon_border_radius=”” icon_border_spacing=”” icon_img=”” img_width=”” ult_hide_row=”” ult_hide_row_large_screen=”” ult_hide_row_desktop=”” ult_hide_row_tablet=”” ult_hide_row_tablet_small=”” ult_hide_row_mobile=”” ult_hide_row_mobile_large=””][vc_column width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1436102972606{padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: rgba(0,32,73,0.42) !important;*background-color: rgb(0,32,73) !important;}”][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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”][vc_column_text]

British Airways and Virgin Atlantic fly from the UK, via Tobago and St Lucia respectively.  American Airlines flies direct from Miami.

[fac_icon icon=”anchor”] YACHTING FACILITIES

Grenada and Carriacou are, so far, refreshingly undeveloped.  The marina facilities in the region are concentrated at the Southern End of Grenada and, other than at the beginning and end of our trips in this area we can expect to spend our nights at anchor under the stars.

[fac_icon icon=”cutlery”] EATING ASHORE

Grenada has some lovely, high quality restaurants, and elsewhere you can expect a typical Caribbean menu which consists of fish, chicken or pork accompanied by rice and beans, provisions and a local cabbage based salad.

[fac_icon icon=”glass”] NIGHTLIFE

There are one or two nightspots in Grenada catering to the Medical school students, but elsewhere expect a quiet time with most places winding down between 9 and 10pm.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”white” align=”align_center”][vc_empty_space height=”32px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_gallery type=”flexslider_fade” interval=”0″ images=”6773,7371,7373,7375,7377″ onclick=”link_image” custom_links_target=”_self” img_size=”small”][vc_column_text]
