| Carriacou Island in the Caribbean Sea, is the largest island of the Grenadines, an archipelago in the Windward Islands chain. The island is 13 sq miles (34 kmē), and a dependency of Grenada with a population of 4,595 (1991 census). The main settlements on the island are Hillsborough, L'Esterre, Harvey Vale, and Windward.
The neighbouring island of Petite Martinique is 2 1/2 miles away from Carriacou, and also a part of Grenada. With its 586 acres (2.4 kmē), population 900, it is smaller than Carriacou. The residents of this island live by boat-building, fishing and seafaring.
The Grenadine islands to the north of Carriacou and Petite Martinique are dependencies of St Vincent.
Carriacou is the largest of the Grenadines. It is characterized by white sand beaches, deep aqua bays, hill views of surrounding Grenadine islands, nature trails, reefs and safe anchoring harbours.
Carriacou has no rivers. The water supply for the island comes from its rainfall. The driest time of the year is between January and June.
The short distance between islands and the complete lack of active border patrol mean that it is possible to move between nations relatively easily - a common situation in the Caribbean.
