Explore the marine and avian life at Sandy Island, a calm, secluded enclave of white sand fringed by coconut trees. After Hurricane Ivan demolished the island in 2004, Grenada designated it a nature reserve. Bring snorkeling gear to explore the underwater world, or binoculars to do some bird-watching on land. The island, accessible by water taxi, makes a perfect escape from the usual crowded spots, its long stretch of beach giving a sense of peaceful seclusion. There are no facilities on site, so you should plan to bring your own food and drink. Take a look at our Carriacou Island trip maker to schedule your visit to Sandy Island and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

Great little island just off Paradise beach - simple boat taxi ride. The best snorkelling is to the north end of the island on the Carricou side. Lots of coral, drops off - just make sure to stay out.... more

This is a beautiful island in the marine park. Pretty snorkeling! And the beach is gorgeous. There were 10 mooring balls there owned by the marine park folk. There is at least 1 broken one, hopefully they fix it as there seem to often be more boats wanting ro come than mooring balls.

One of the best southern Caribbean snorkeling spots. Be sure to visit here if you are in the area.
