Undiscovere Paradise of the Grenadines

Saturday, 15 August 20093 min read

St Vincent and the Grenadines comprises of 32 islands and cays stretching over 40 miles. This string of tiny islands, each surrounded with turquoise waters is paradise to the avid sailor. The largest of these islands, just 9 miles south of Kingstown ( the main port of St Vincent ) is Bequia. It is an island orientated to the sea, retaining the age old traditions of boat building, whaling and fishing. Admiralty Bay, the island’s natural harbour, is a favorite anchoring spot for yachts-men from all over the world. The quaint waterfront capital of Port Elizabeth is lined with bars, restaurants and craft shops. Bequia is encircled by gold sand beaches, many of which disappear into coves, excellent for sailing, scuba and snorkeling. Lodgings vary from luxurious resort cottages to small simple West Indian inns. Much of the night life centres around hotels, beachside barbeques and steel bands.
