We have been to the Grenadines four times, including our elopement in Union Island in 2004. We love these islands and of course our best of the Grenadines is subjective but could help you if you plan to visit.
I already wrote about why this country is great for cruising so here I detail our favorite places to go and things to do in the Grenadines.
About the grenadines
St. Vincent and the Grenadines is located just north of Carriacou, the northern island of Grenada. Even though Bequia and Union Island have nice protected anchorages, they are just too far north for insurance companies to allow us to stay there for hurricane season. Fortunately there’s enough to do in Grenada to keep cruisers happy. Before and after hurricane season, St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a great place to spend some time. Here are some of the things we love about it.
Hurricane Beryl devastated the southern Grenadines, including Union Island and Mayreau, leaving many people homeless. If you want to help rebuild, here are some fundraising links.
Old Hegg Turtle Sanctuary, Bequia
Bequia is one of the more populous islands in The Grenadines, and a great place to base a Grenadines getaway. It’s also a top Caribbean destination for families, and one of the reasons is the turtles!
