Joy's friendly beach bar and snackette on Paradise Beach, serving simple fresh food at local prices. It's also the base for the water taxi to Sandy Island.

Practical

Coordinate is the carriacou.biz map pin. Carriacou.biz: lower-end prices, a favourite with locals, and a water taxi to Sandy Island that collects you at an agreed time (phone 473-443-6839). Caribbean Beat also says the Hardwood Bar & Snackette runs the water taxi to Sandy and Mabouya islands. From the Paradise Beach moorings, land the dinghy on the beach. 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.
