Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is a Caribbean nation made up of the main island of Saint Vincent and 32 smaller islands and cays. It lies in the Caribbean part of North America, and it is often called SVG.
What the islands offer
The country is spread across a scattering of islands, so a visit tends to be about moving between them. The main island of Saint Vincent is the largest and the centre of daily life, while the smaller islands and cays give the Grenadines their character. Each stop has its own pace and its own stretch of Caribbean water.
Planning a visit
- Island hopping: with 32 smaller islands and cays, the Grenadines suit travellers who enjoy moving from one place to the next.
- Quiet cays: the smaller islands and cays are well suited to unhurried days on the water and along the shore.
- The main island: Saint Vincent gives visitors a base from which to explore the wider country.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines appeals to visitors who want the Caribbean spread across many islands rather than concentrated in one. Those interested in seeing a range of small islands in a single trip will find it a fitting choice.
