Frigate Island (Grenada)

12° 24.9′ N · 61° 28.7′ W

A rocky, uninhabited island off Carriacou's south-east, between Saline and Large islands, framed by the strong Atlantic currents of the southern cays.

Practical

Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap islet centroid. Dive Carriacou's Frigate Channel and Dry Rock sites lie close by (drift dives for experienced divers). Wikipedia notes it lies next to Saline Island. The sources used describe no recommended yacht anchorage, so treat the area as a passage hazard and dive area. Strong currents run between the cays; give Rose Rock (12.407 N, 61.477 W per OpenStreetMap) a wide berth.

Best for

Diving the southern cays
