Alexis Food Store (Tyrrel Bay)
12° 27.5′ N · 61° 28.9′ W
The best-stocked supermarket on the Tyrrel Bay side of Carriacou, on the main road in Harvey Vale near the Tyrell Bay Marina at the north end of the bay. Most cruisers do their everyday provisioning here.
Practical
Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap 'Alexis Food Store' node. Noonsite: it opened in early 2018 next to the new marina, carries a large selection of food and drink, and you can leave the dinghy at the (unfinished) marina dock. Carriacou.biz calls the range sufficient but limited for Western tastes; phone (473) 443-7179 (carriacou.biz). There are fresh-produce stalls along the roadside (Noonsite), including the Rufus Shade vegetable stand mapped on the waterfront, plus the small R.S.G. Shopping Mart (OpenStreetMap). For a bigger shop, flag down the No. 10 bus to Hillsborough. Garbage: only small roadside bins, plus bins at the marina and Customs; no recycling (2018 report). Carriacou.biz warns that most of its listings predate Hurricane Beryl (July 2024), which damaged or destroyed about 95% of structures on Carriacou and Petite Martinique, so confirm it is open before you go.
