| GEOGRAPHY |
St Vincent & the
Grenadines make up part of the Windward
Islands and lie south of St Lucia. St Vincent,
like all the Windwards, is volcanic and
mountainous with luxuriant vegetation and
black sand beaches. The highest peak of
St Vincent, La Soufrière (1219m/4000ft),
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 D'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. |
