This 586-acre island which completes the tri-island destination is situated east, off the northern half of Carriacou. About 900 persons live on the island, most of whom derive their income from boat building and fishing. Petite Martinique (Pitty-Mar-Ti-Neek) has a strong culture and rich history manifested through its traditions and festivals. The highest point on the island, the Piton (750 feet high) was once the site of the island’s maroon feast, known as the ‘Sugaring of the Piton’.  A hike up to the Piton offers sweeping, spectacular views of northern Petite Martinique as well as nearby Grenadine islands of Petit St. Vincent, Union Island, Palm Island, Mayreau, Canouan and Mustique.  The Whitsuntide Regatta is a signature festival on the island.

Petite Martinique is also blessed with fine beaches — Sanchez Beach is great for sailing, surfing, diving, kayaking, snorkelling and fishing, while the calmer Mang Beach is great for swimming and family picnics.

The Petite Martinique Whitsuntide Regatta Festival is the best time to visit as it is one of the best sailing events on the calendar. It is rightly famous for its unique blend of local boat racing, on-shore activities and the hospitality of its people.
