- Amerindian Well in Harvey Vale. This ancient well is
located quite close to the sea, neara guest house, aptly name Constant
Springs. Its mineral waters are thought to have healthful properties.
- Anse La Roche Beach in Prospect. Access is via a rigorous
mile-long trail, a bit steep but well marked, or by boat. One of the
most scenic and secluded beaches. A striking rock formation juts up
just about 30 yards from the beach. The sandy beach is superb and you
may likely have it all to yourself at off times. Snorkeling is very
good off the point.
- Belair National Park in Belair. The park is the setting for
the Maroon Cultural Festival and Parang Festival. Both French and
English ruins of plantation buildings and well-preserved windmills. A
network of hiking trails, natural scenery, including a teak and
mahogany forest and wildlife.
- Botanical Gardens, Hillsborough.
- Hillsborough Bay creates a very nice sandy beach.
- Carriacou Museum Hillborough
- Dumfries Historical Site in Dumfries. Old plantation ruins
with some old equipment and machinery used in processing cotton and
limes, including a landmark stone chimney.
- High North Peak The highest elevation on Carriacou - 956
feet. Within a National Park, there are trails and guided tours
available. Hikers often see iguanas, land tortoises, or soldier crabs
along the way as well as some varieties of birds.

- Ningo Well Tibeau. One of the earliest wells built on
Carriacou. Plantation ruins are nearby and a cemetery is right on the
beach at Jews Bay.
- Paradise Beach L'Esterre. Paradise is one of Carriacou's
best beaches. A barrier reef provides calm waters and white sand.
- Petite Carenage Beach & Mangroves Windward. There is a
marked trail leading from the road in Windward, through the mangroves
and down to this isolated beach. This sand beach is made up of tiny
shells and turtles use it to lay their eggs. The surf is often more
rigorous here than other beaches. A guide conducts mangrove and
nightwatch nesting turtle tours.
- White Island Marine Park Water taxi out to this offshore
island for some great snorkeling. The park provides easy access to
coral gardens. Pack a lunch.
