St Vincent & The Grenadines

St. Vincent & The Grenadines are some 32 islands and cays stretching south (about 48 miles) to the country of Grenada and making up part of the Windward Islands that lie south of St Lucia.

The big island of St. Vincent (volcanic in origin) has a rugged mountainous terrain, lush forests and many uncluttered beaches and inlets. The port city of Kingstown is a lively port and market town and is one of the most picturesque destinations in the Caribbean.

The Grenadines includes Bequia, Canouan, Mustique and Union, and a group of smaller (many unpopulated) islands. All are low-lying, ringed by coral reefs, and are famous for some of the best beaches and sailing conditions on the planet.
