St. Vincent and the Grenadines

Postcard

The Grenadines pick up where Grenada leaves off and stretch northwards till they hit Saint Vincent. They are a collection of 30 islands, only a dozen of which are inhabited.  Most are blessed with perfect Caribbean beaches and diving waters and many of the islands also afford great windsurfing conditions.

Saint Vincent is the cultural hub of the islands, where most of the population live. Kingstown, along its southwestern shore, is the country's capital, a bubbly cultural affair marked by a decidedly relaxing West Indies atmosphere. Arches, cobbled streets, magnificent churches and historic stone buildings blend with the functional and the modern.
