Kalinago rock carvings in the hills above Layou, a fishing town on the leeward coast that the Caribs settled long before the French arrived.
Practical
OpenStreetMap maps the Layou petroglyphs here, about 1.5 km inland from Layou Bay. Wikipedia notes the area's Carib settlement is evident from its petroglyphs. Access is by road from Layou; ask locally about opening times and any entry fee, which are not published in the sources checked. Layou has a supermarket, pharmacy and police station near the waterfront. Wikidata also lists petroglyph sites at Buccament, Mount Wynne and Barrouallie along this coast.
