The scenery of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is among the most beautiful in the Caribbean. There are numerous private islands here, many of which have luxury resorts. Dive sites abound, and coral reefs line several of the beaches, providing great snorkeling just a short distance from shore. Discerning island lovers go to these tranquil and unassuming islands for a taste of classic Caribbean beauty away from the throngs of cruise ships that clog up the larger ports. The capital of St. Vincent, Kingstown, has cobblestone streets and colonial structures, while Union Island serves as the southern entry to the Grenadines. The emerald islets of Bequia, Mustique, Mayreau, Canouan, Palm Island, and Petit St. Vincent are strewn around like gems in the surrounding waters. The picture-perfect Tobago Cays, which are part of a marine park encircled by coral reefs, attract divers, snorkelers, boaters, and beachcombers alike.
Tobago Cays
The famous Tobago Cays’ untamed, deserted islets and reefs have long been regarded as some of the Caribbean’s most stunning by yachtsmen and sailors. This picturesque port is frequently listed as one of the most prized by experienced cruisers, noting lovely crowd-free beaches, spectacular corals, and bright turquoise waters. The Tobago Cays are an archipelago of five tiny deserted islands located in the southern Grenadines islands: Petit Rameau, Petit Bateau, Baradal, Petit Tobac, and Jamesby. The Tobago Cays Marine Park, a national park and animal reserve, is home to these islands, which are the main attraction. The park is dominated by a vast 1,400-acre lagoon ringed by the world-famous horseshoe reef. Imagine beautiful, sand-bottomed lagoons alive with green turtles and colorful fish, all surrounded by vibrant coral reefs and quiet white-sand beaches. The exquisite splendor found here would leave nature lovers and water sports enthusiasts speechless. The diving and snorkeling on Tobago Cay are second to none, and the sounds of nature create a very relaxing soundtrack for birding, beachcombing, swimming, and sand picnics.

Mopion
Mopion is a peaceful jewel in the heart of blue seas, with a clean sandy beach surrounded by wonderful underwater coral. The little sandbar, which is just around 100 feet (30 meters) long depending on the tides, is so low that an umbrella was erected on it to help mariners identify it from afar and prevent slamming their ships into the reef. The straw parasol is also the only source of shade for anyone stranded on the picturesque tiny patch of land, whether on purpose or not. Visitors are also known to carve their initials into the umbrella’s trunk.
