St. Vincent and the Grenadines Travel Guide

"Known in the write-up as the archipelago's "Jewel in the Crown," this marine park encircles a cluster of five uninhabited islands rimmed by a clear lagoon, where sea turtles nest and vibrant reefs create a snorkeler's paradise. It's one of the most popular day-trip destinations from the main island and a prime draw for sailing itineraries. On the subject of sailing more broadly, Loïc Bonnet, president of Dream Yacht Worldwide, is quoted: "The best sailing months are December to May, with February to April being preferred." He also cautions that "The 'Christmas Winds' in December and January tend to be stronger and can occasionally reach 30 knots for a few days, which can be too strong for good sailing." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"Known as the “Jewel in the Crown” of the Southern Grenadines, Tobago Cays Marine Park comprises five picture-perfect, uninhabited islands surrounded by a clear lagoon. Here, you’ll find sea turtle nesting sites and feeding areas, small systems of mangroves, and the most well-developed coral reef complexes in St. Vincent. Swim with the resident turtles, snorkel around the almost 2.5-mile-long Horseshoe Reef, or simply relax on a magnificent white-sand beach—each island has at least one."
