Welcome to 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 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 and other accomodations, 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.
