What can you do while sailing in St Vincent and the Grenadines?

With almost 600 islands in the Grenadine island chain, 32 of which are located in St Vincent and the Grenadines, there is an endless list of things to do and places to visit.  Naturally, with so many islands at your disposal, island-hopping is a must and something made so much easier with a boat rental.  On the different islands, you can look forward to experiencing many diverse ecosystems and geographical features, just some of which include rainforests, waterfalls and coral reefs.  With so many reefs located in the seas surrounding the islands, scuba diving and snorkeling are activities that you simply must participate in, given the amount of sea life the reefs attract, and you can even see the wreckages of ancient ships that sank in the past.

Even if the biological diversity of the marine ecosystem doesn’t interest you, you will find something to suit your interests on these islands.  You can visit the bustling ports and participate in a number of different watersports by day.  Or, if you’re more interested in the food and the nightlife, Blue Lagoon Marina and Port Elizabeth have a number of fantastic restaurants and bars where you can sample fresh seafood, while Happy Island, Palm Island and Clifton are the perfect places to try some cocktails.  They are home to some of the best beach bars in the Caribbean and Janti Ramage’s bar on Happy Island is unique because it was built completely from conch shells the local fishermen discarded.

Here are some of the best places to visit:

  • Bequia

Bequia is the largest island in the Grenadines and naturally, it has many of the most beautiful beaches, including Friendship Beach, Princess Margaret Beach, Lower Bay and Industry Bay.  All of these beaches provide a wide range of unique diving experiences nearby, with many wrecks, coral reefs and caves within a short distance from the shore.  If you want to pass a little time on shore, you can also visit the Bequia Maritime Museum.

  • Tobago Cays

Tobago Cays offers some of the best sailing and snorkeling opportunities in the Caribbean on account of its horseshoe reef.  This reef has created a calm lagoon with unbelievably blue waters that attracts all sorts of marine life, including turtles, whales, dolphins and even flying fish.

  • Petit St Vincent

Petit St Vincent is the smallest island in the Grenadines and is the ideal place for a digital detox if you fancy stopping off here for a couple of days.  On this island, there is no wifi and in the many resorts, there are also no televisions or phones in the rooms, meaning that if the guests want room service, they have to hoist a flag up outside their room.  Although most choose to relax by lounging on one of the many hammocks dotted around the island, there are also many hiking trails on the island for the more adventurous holidaymakers.

  • Sandbanks

If you want a truly unique experience, you should visit one of the sandbanks.  In the Grenadines, there are two main ones: Mopion and PunaiseHanging out on a sandbank is the ultimate relaxing experience as you are literally relaxing on a stretch of sand in the middle of the sea, with nothing else for miles around.  It’s also the perfect place to have a picnic and snorkel.

  • Union Island

On Union Island, you can walk the entire perimeter on the coastal path, as well as visiting the towns of Clifton and Ashton while you’re at it.  Ashton is a traditional fishing village and by stopping off here, you’ll have the opportunity to see some very colourful fishing boats.  Whilst on this island, you can also climb up Old Fort Hill.  A former outpost for French troops, this is the best place to get a spectacular view of the Grenadines, as well as visiting the ruins of a 17th century French fort below.

  • Botanic Gardens of St Vincent

The Botanic Gardens of St Vincent are located just a mile from Kingstown and are dedicated to preserving rare native plants, as well as other tropical plants.  Built in 1765, it is one of the oldest Botanical Gardens in the world.  Hidden within the gardens, you can also find the Nicholas Wildlife Aviary, which runs a captive breeding program aimed at conserving the St Vincent amazon parrot, currently classed as a vulnerable species.

  • Dark View Falls

Dark View Falls consists of two spectacular waterfalls, located at the foot of La Soufrière Volcano.  The falls are just 15 minutes from the nearest car park, but can be a little tricky to reach if you’re scared of heights as you have to cross a bamboo bridge to get there.  If you can brave the bridge, though, you won’t regret it as the pools below the falls are the perfect place to swim and cool down.

  • Mustique

Mustique is a former royal residence, given to Princess Margaret in 1959 as a wedding present.  This island, though small, is a fantastic place to visit on account of the rich and diverse wildlife found throughout the island, including many bird species, most of which you can see while hiking along the North Point trail.

  • Baliceaux South-West

This bay, on the island of Baliceaux, which was discovered by the Spaniards in the 15th century, is rarely crowded, despite offering fair protection from the wind.  The sea can get a little rough as a result of easterly swells, but for a quick trip, the conditions are pleasant.  This island is full of sheltered coves that are fascinating to explore, and it also offers up many opportunities for snorkeling, sunbathing and hiking.

  • Britannia Bay, Mustique

Aside from being a former royal residence, there are many reasons to visit the island of Mustique and Britannia Bay, an anchorage in the west of the island.  There are many amenities, as well as a lot of entertainment on this island, but the real reason why it is so popular is the wildlife.  The seas around this island are full of coral reefs and it is also a popular breeding ground for many turtles and herons.  While you’re there, it’s strongly recommended to head over to Bazil’s Bar, where you can enjoy cocktails on the beach.

  • Saline Bay, Mayreau Island

In spite of the beautiful white sand beaches, most of the lure of this island lies in the water.  The surrounding sea is packed full of excellent snorkeling opportunities and for experienced divers, the famous Mayreau Hot Springs presents a unique diving experience.  At Mayreau Hot Springs, you have the opportunity to see impressive coral reefs in a rare underwater volcanic setting.

If you venture onto dry land, it is easy to get to the only village on the island, where you can sample some local food in one of the few restaurants, or buy some souvenirs for your friends and family in the shops.  If you like photography, Saline Bay also offers a great viewpoint of the Tobago Cays.

Tobago Cays

Union Island

Mopion Island
