A collection of several uninhabited islands in the southern section of the Grenadines that offer some of the best beaches for swimming, tanning and snorkeling in the Caribbean.

The water, reefs and aquatic life here are all outstanding. There must’ve been 70 yachts moored but everyone was polite, quiet and respectful. Even though the reef breaks the waves, it is windy here so keep that in mind if you’re bareboating. Moorings in the cut are quite close together. There is current too so I can see how it could be intimidating for a beginner snorkeler or someone who is not a confident swimmer. Saw numerous rays, turtles and many beautiful fish. There are 2 dingy moorings for those who wish to dinghy out to the reef. We’ve snorkeled throughout the Caribbean and I’d consider this to be in the top 3. Sandy Island off Carriacou, Petit Nevis and Indians in the BVI were similarly exceptional.

Although smaller than the Botanical Gardens in Kingstown, these gardens still feature many species of exotic plants.

The Montreal Gardens are a true labor of love created by its gardener Timothy Vaughn. He has put his heart and soul and over twenty-five years of his life into designing and developing a magnificent botanical garden encompassing seven acres of lush hills and valleys less than an hour's drive outside of Kingstown, St. Vincent. The variety of plants and flowers is extraordinary. Although this hidden gem is off the beaten path, it is worth the adventure of navigating the backroads needed to get there. For a mere $5 you are treated to a beautiful place surrounded by the welcoming sea and steep tropical mountain tops. You will find yourself immersed in your very own Garden of Eden, with all of the stimulating sights, smells and sounds of nature. The Montreal Gardens are like none other. I recommend that you check them out. You won't be disappointed.

4.5 based on 155 reviews
This pristine tropical bay and its beach are protected from rough Atlantic waters by a small piece of land that extends out into the ocean. Charming bungalows on the breathtaking Salt Whistle Bay, Mayreau, which National Geographic called "Paradise Found" and Conde Nast Traveler listed as a "Top International Beach." Spectacular, unspoiled views of the turquoise reefs, amazing snorkeling and stand-up paddle boarding (equipment included), and a world-class kitesurfing beach, all on site. The pristine Tobago Cays are a short 15 min boat trip. Enjoy the on-site restaurant and beach bar with a tasty, international menu.

We went here as part of the Yanis Catamaran Tours. The waters were crystal clear and the water was shallow enough for those who cannot swim to be completely comfortable. The sand was like powder under your feet. A must visit.

A Mustique beach that is popular with tourists seeking good swimming and snorkeling.

Stunning white sandy beach on atlantic side so some good waves for my child of a husband to body surf in. You can reserve a picnic table (your villa do this for you) and either take your own picnic or the villa staff will deliver it. There are only about 5 tables on whole beach so very quite. Most days we went we only saw a couple of people.

The Botanical Gardens are one of the most important and popular sites in St Vincent. They are the oldest botanical gardens in the Western Hemisphere (established in 1765) and are also an important conservation site (particularly for the St Vincent parrot). The Botanical Gardens are in Kingstown, a short journey from the town centre.
