Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rise with the sun as it peeped from the ocean’s horizon? To stretch that first stretch and to breathe in the balm of an air that’s as fresh as the waves? To tiptoe outside to the sight of the gulls as they glide on the soft trade wind breezes? That’s all possible in St. Vincent.

St. Vincent, “Land of the Blessed” has historical sites and natural wonders abound. If it is the sea that calls you in, then Chateaubetair on the Leeward Coast is ideal. Snorklers will love this bay, which has a 40-foot deep reef and array of brightly colored fish. While usually a good anchorage, especially on the eastern half of the bay, the northerly swells in the winter months can cause difficulties.

Petit Byahaut, also on the Leeward Coast, has a small beach and diving and snorkelling are superb. At Dinosaur Head (face of Byahaut point) there’s a 120-foot wall covered in sponges, seafans and coral.

The picturesque Wallilabou is a good diving spot and Mount Wynne, the expansive black sand beach is a local favorite. It lies on the leeward coast thus the sea is very calm. Equipped with benches and huts. The ideal spot for a picnic and for anchoring speed boats and yachts.

Over on the South East coast there’s the beautiful Blue Lagoon surrounded by palm trees. This area with a lovely beach provides a very pleasant anchorage. Moorings are available at Barefoot Yacht Charters or The Lagoon Marina.

 Villa Beach and Indian Bay - There are two white sand beaches on mainland St. Vincent located on the southeast end of the island. They are divided by a small hilly projection and are easily accessible. Both beaches offer good snorkelling and provide lovely views of Young Island and some of the Grenadine islands.

On the windward side of the island there are a number of beautiful black sand beaches. Especially popular is Argyle, a long beach unto which breakers crash furiously. jost of the windward beaches are not recommended for swimming. Also you will find a lovely picturesque, long beach at Black Point.

Brighton Beach is a secluded black sand beach. This beach faces the Grenadines. It has high waves and is the perfect place for a bit of boogie boarding.
