About this spot
Carriacou's IKO-certified kite school runs lessons, rentals and clinics, with hourly rates and 3, 6 or 9-hour packages and an intro course for complete beginners.
Students describe being driven to Mount Pleasant beach for one-to-one lessons, with the beach to themselves; the spot is described as secluded, sandy and somewhat shallow.
Hurricane Beryl hit the island in July 2024; the school says the island has recovered and lessons run, but its kite cruises were postponed — check before you travel.
