About St. Vincent & the Grenadines
Lying at the southern end of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, St. Vincent offers a stunning playground far from the stresses of city life. Its sheer cliffs rise proudly above the sea, while tropical marine life dances beneath the waves. Its verdant 150 square miles consist of the main island of St. Vincent and the northern two-thirds of the Grenadines, 32 isles stretching south towards Grenada.
