Carriacou in general

Carriacou in general…

Tyrell Bay is a great place to relax and catch glimpses of mega yachts that come in and out during the festive season. 

The local folk are super helpful and friendly. Food and drink is as easy obtainable as leaving your dingy beached, with no need to lock it up, and crossing the road to one of the many little shops that can be crammed into about a 400m stretch.

Each shop will sell one or two items that the other

doesn’t so they all get business one way or another. Supplies are mostly brought in by ferry from Grenada. The good news is that no matter where you buy a beer it all costs the same!

If you need something specific, whether it be food or boat gear, Hillsborough is the place...maybe. EC3,50 (about R12) per person gets you an interesting taxi ride there.

It’s also the spot where the ferry docks, so fresh fruit and veggies come in there first. 

We (and our friends Holly and John, from Shiloh) ate mutton stew at a restaurant overlooking the bay, and it was great…the food and the view. After lunch we bought some provisions and checked out with customs and immigration

Goodbye Tyrell Bay
