Kingstown
St. Vincent is part of the Windward Islands in the eastern Caribbean and lies south of St. Lucia and north of Grenada. At the head of the idyllic island chain of the 30-or-so Genadines, scenic St. Vincent packs into its 18 x 12 miles an extravagant canvas of lush tropical valleys and mountains, home of hummingbird and hibiscus, breadfruit and bamboo, limes and mahogany. In the little capital of Kingston, the animated fruit, vegetable and fish markets, dramatic coastal views from historic Fort Charlotte, and luxuriant Botanical Gardens.
Adventures
Great snorkeling and diving abounds throughout the coral reefs of the Grenadines, but for something a little different, head for The Bat Cave on St. Vincent's western coast. No, you won't find the Batmobile hidden away, but swim along a rocky point and into a well-lighted, narrow passageway, and you'll surface in an inner chamber populated by... hundreds of tiny bats.
Currency
St. Vincent and the Grenadines' currency is the Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$)
