Banana Jo Bar (Paradise Beach)

12° 28.3′ N · 61° 28.9′ W

A classic, ramshackle Caribbean beach bar on Paradise Beach that Jo has rebuilt after several hurricanes. Its latest version doubles as the 'Banana Jo Merit Museum'.

Practical

Coordinate is the carriacou.biz map pin at the south end of Paradise Beach (L'Esterre). Carriacou.biz: relaxed, always someone to chat with, budget prices; Jo also rents rooms about 100 m from the beach; phone +1 (473) 419-6286. 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.
