Lying north of Trinidad and Tobago, the main island of Saint Vincent and its entourage of islets, The Grenadines, are a chain of postcard-perfect Caribbean utopia. Blessed with white-sand beaches and piercing blue waters, it makes for a great alternative to its more crowded Caribbean counterparts.
For some seriously scenic scuba diving and snorkelling, take a day trip out to the Grenadines’ Tobago Cays – five small islands encircled with coral reefs.
Saint Vincent is well worth taking your time to explore, with picturesque sights along the coast and inland. The Botanical Gardens are laden with tropical trees and flowers, while Dark View Falls and Trinity Falls features are a majestic site, with pools for swimming in.
To soak up the culture, book a stay at a guest house or apartment in the Saint Vincent’s capital of Kingstown. Many beachfront resorts are scattered across the Grenadines.
