About Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a Caribbean chain running south from a volcanic, rainforest-covered main island to a scatter of small cays. Kingstown sits below the Soufriere volcano, while Bequia, Mustique, Canouan and the Tobago Cays are the best-known of the Grenadines. The drier months from December to April bring steady breezes for sailing and island hopping; the wetter season at mid-year is quieter and more humid, with a small storm risk.
