Facts (Overview)
In 2013 the new Argyle International Airport will open, on St. Vincent, which will make the islands accessible for widebody aircraft from practically anywhere in the world. A collection of 32 islands and cays in the secluded Southern Caribbean, St. Vincent and the Grenadines boasts the best of what the authentic Caribbean is renowned for: pristine white and black sand beaches; tranquil waters for exceptional diving, sailing and snorkeling; a verdant topography for soft adventure activities; private island retreats for destination weddings and honeymoons; historic sites that unveil a colorful culture; and vibrant carnivals and regattas. The Grenadines stretch for 45 miles south from St. Vincent and include eight inhabited islands: Young Island, Bequia, Union, Mayreau, Mustique, Canouan, Palm Island and Petit St. Vincent. Tobago Cays is a horseshoe shaped reef that shields five deserted islets and is renowned as a sailing and snorkeling mecca.
