Welcome to St. Vincent and The
Grenadines
Thirty-two unspoiled islands & cays
This necklace of thirty-two islands and cays in the Eastern
Caribbean is 1,600 miles from Miami, USA. What's waiting for you here?
Spectacular landscapes, beautiful white-sand beaches and mesmerizing
turquoise blue waters. When you land here, you've found the Jewels of the
Caribbean!
St. Vincent
A lush volcanic island, just 18 miles north to south and 11 miles wide, its
windward coast is lined with cliffs and rocky shores pounded by the Atlantic
ocean. The leeward coast has spectacular slopes and valleys running down to
beaches lapped by the tranquil Caribbean Sea. The Capital, Kingstown,
combines reminders of its colonial past with the bright and bustling life of
a modern market town.
The Grenadines
Make your leisurely way from island to island using the scheduled ferry boat
or travel by air, or let one of the local tour operators be your guide
through the islands:
Bequia
9 miles south of St Vincent and the largest of the Grenadines. It is an
island oriented to the sea, retaining age-old traditions of boat building,
whaling and fishing.
Canouan
Measuring 3 miles by 1 mile, Canouan claims some of the best beaches in the
entire Caribbean - long ribbons of powder-white sands, wide shallows and
coral. The island has an airstrip for for light aircraft.
Mayreau
One of the smaller Grenadines and privately owned with few residents, it can
be reached by boat from Union Island.
Mustique
A gem of an island measuring 3 miles by 1 mile with a landscape as genteel
as its lifestyle — green hills roll into soft white sand beaches and
turquoise waters. Privately owned, this Grenadine isle has long attracted
the elite of the world, including British royalty.
Palm Island
A private resort with a very casual ambiance — 24 beachfront stone cottages,
open-air dining and all watersports off wide, spectacular white-sand
beaches.
The Tobago Cays
Numerous islets south of Canouan, guarded by some of the most spectacular
coral reefs in the world. You can sail, snorkel and beach comb in complete
seclusion in this rare tropical paradise that can be reached only by yacht.
A national marine park is being developed here.
Union Island
A 2,100-acre mountainous island fringed by superb beaches, Union Island is
the stopping-off point for yachtsmen and visitors heading to some of the
smaller Grenadines.
