What do I need to know before moving to Petite Martinique?
When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Petite Martinique, they said...
"Petite Martinique is a small island with a population of less than 1,000 people, so it offers a quiet, peaceful lifestyle. The official language is English, but many locals also speak French Patois, a Creole language. The local currency is the Eastern Caribbean Dollar, but US dollars are also widely accepted. The island is part of the tri-island state of Grenada, Carriacou, and Petite Martinique, and is governed under the constitutional monarchy of the United Kingdom. The economy is primarily based on fishing and boat building, with some tourism. The climate is tropical with a wet and dry season, and it is susceptible to hurricanes. The island is quite remote and does not have an airport, so travel to and from the island is typically by boat. Healthcare facilities are limited on the island, so serious medical conditions may require travel to the mainland. The cost of living is relatively low compared to many Western countries, but imported goods can be expensive. The island has a strong sense of community and local traditions are highly valued. The pace of life is slow and relaxed, and the natural beauty of the island is a major draw for many expats. While the island is generally safe, it's advisable to take standard precautions to protect personal belongings. Internet and mobile phone coverage can be unreliable, especially during bad weather. Finally, it's important to respect local customs and traditions, and to make an effort to integrate into the local community," said a member in Petite Martinique, Grenada.
