Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an island country in the Caribbean, in the southeast Windward Islands of the Lesser Antilles. It comprises the main island of Saint Vincent and, to the south, two-thirds of the northern part of the Grenadines, a chain of 32 smaller islands.
Noted for their coral reefs and fine beaches, the Grenadines serve as the focus of the country’s tourism sector. They are particularly favored by those interested in yachting and sport fishing, and lend themselves to Caribbean tourism’s traditional emphasis on sun, sea, and sand.
