In Pirates of the Caribbean, loopy but lovable Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) relates the horrors of being marooned on a tiny deserted island.
Later, he?s dumped on the same spot, this time with the luscious Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), who soon discovers that Sparrow?s first visit involved nothing more horrible than sitting on a perfect beach and drinking rum ? much like a modern Caribbean vacation.
To film this scene, the director picked Petit Tabac, a slash of soft, deep sand crowned by a shock of green palms that is one of St. Vincent and the Grenadines? shining jewels within the Tobago Cays National Marine Park.
Close to the island , near Carriacou you will find a even smaller jewel, called Mopion
This is where they dropped captain Jack Sparrow in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.
