Calivigny Island

Calivigny Island covers 80 acres, with its small pond, is located between the Atlantic and Caribbean oceans by the island of Grenada off Petit Calivigny Point, and can be very clearly seen just 0.140 miles (0.226 km) from Grenada's southern coastal road in Lower Woburn, or from Le Phare Bleu.

In 1964 Ripley P. and Adelaide K. Bullen produced an archaeological summary of Grenada which listed fourteen sites, of which the most important are Calivigny Island, Saanne Suazey, Pearls, and Westerhall Point.

These terrestrial vertebrates were identified as Iguana sp., Chelonia mydas, Didelphis marsupialis, Dasyprocta sp., Canis familiaris, and Homo sapiens.

During the 1980s, yachts had to avoid the area of Grenada's southeast coast between the west side of Hogg Island and Chemin Bay to the east, as there was a military base and practice shooting range operated by the army on Calivigny Island and sea vessels could pass within five miles outside this islet only with prior notice from the army.

[citation needed] By the late 1980s, a venture, under Calivigny Island Club Ltd (founded in the 1960s by Howard M. Maynard), began plans to create a yachting resort on the island which had become a privately owned resort[6] making it difficult for outside visitors to gain access to its six beaches, although beaches remain part of the public domain under Grenadian law.
