ST VINCENT AND THE GRENADINES- "The Gems of the Antilles”
BY CLAY LARROY
The preparation for a vacation is almost as
exhilarating as the vacation itself. I love printing out the tickets and
confirmations while thinking about how much fun I will have on vacation. I
think that some of the best destinations in the world are located in the
Caribbean. So I am continuing my tour across around the Caribbean Islands. When you want to plan a vacation contact me!
Vincent, like all the Windward Islands, is a staggering vista of
contrasts where lush mountain peaks sit alongside striking volcanic black-sand
beaches. The Grenadines are equally stunning, with secluded coves, spectacular
coral reefs, rainforest hiking and superb sailing conditions being among the
main tourist attractions.
With
32 islands to choose from there are plenty of white-sand expanses and
crystal-clear waters in which to find some solitude and tranquility. Those
looking for more activity should head to the capital of Kingstown on St
Vincent, with its colonial architecture and buzzing vibe.
The smaller islands that
make up the Grenadines offer a quieter pace of life, whether it's on the
budget-kind island of Bequia to the luxurious hideaways of Mustique. The best
way to experience the stunning islands is to hop between them by boat,
discovering remote coves that were once the stomping ground of pirates and are
now the setting for the swash-buckling antics of the Pirates of the Caribbean films.
