Petit Martinique

This tiny circular volcanic cone rises out of the sea northeast of Carriacou. Most of Petit Martinique's 600 inhabitants make a living from the sea, and the island enjoys one of the region's highest per capita incomes. There's not much to see here unless you're interested in quiet isolation. The islanders have a reputation for their independent spirit, as well as a bit of notoriety for smuggling. The island has a school, church, guesthouse and a grocery shop-cum-bar, but no police, customs or banks. There's one road on the western coast, though most people get around on foot. A local cargo boat plies between Petit Martinique and Hillsborough on Carriacou twice a week, or you can arrange for a speedboat to zip you over to the island from Windward on Carriacou's northern coast.
