Towns of St Vincent |
KingstonThe capital city of Kingstown is located in the southwestern part of the island, nestled along Kingstown Bay and is surrounded by a ring of green hills and ridges. Nicknamed the “City of Arches”, Kingstown is full of old world charm, with cobblestone sidewalks, old brick buildings and, like many Caribbean capitals, much of the colour and bustle of the island can be found in the market square. The city consists of twelve small blocks that are easy to walk and perfect for browsing. Shops and stores range from simple to sophisticated, selling everything from local crafts to gold and silver jewellery. |
 St Vincent and the Grenadines make up part of the Windward Islands and lie south of St Lucia. The highest peak of St Vincent, La Soufrière (1,219m/4,000ft), is volcanic, and deep down in the crater is a lake. The ‘tail’ of the comet of St Vincent (the Grenadines) is a string of islands and cays that splays south from Bequia (pronounced Beck-Way), Petit Nevis, Isle à Quatre and Pigeon Island to Battowia, Baliceaux, Mustique, Petit Mustique, Savan, Canouan, Petit Canouan, Mayreau and the Tobago Cays, Union Island, Palm Island and Petit St Vincent. All of the Grenadines are famous for their white beaches, clear waters and verdant scenery. |

 The Falls of Baleine, at the northern tip of St Vincent, are accessible only by boat. The 18m (59ft) freshwater falls stream from volcanic slopes and form a series of shallow pools at the base. A challenging hike for the more adventurous is the just over 5km (3 miles) journey up La Soufrière, St Vincent’s northern volcano, which affords a wonderful bird’s-eye view of the crater and its islands, and all of St Vincent. |
