	Carriacou
		Carriacou, with a population of 7,000, is the largest.
		Carriacou’s name is derived from an old Amerindian word meaning, "land of many reefs." Carriacou is best known for its relaxed atmosphere, its many dive sites and deserted offshore islets, and its unique African cultural traditions, as well as for boat building.
		Carriacou's obvious attractions are the gorgeous waters - clear, warm, with white-sand seafloors, and there are always local boat operators willing to take you to the many nearby, uninhabited off-islands if you have already taken the time to explore the beaches around the island itself.
