This chain of islands forms part of the Windward Islands, stretching between Grenada and St Vincent. You really need to be on a boat to see them properly. We chartered a yacht from The Moorings and sailed around the islands for 10 blissful days. We started at Canouan, in the middle of the chain, and visited: Bequia - a sheltered harbour with great bars and restaurants, and a wonderful turtle sanctuary Mustique - playground of the rich and famous, hired a golf buggy to tour the island Petit St Vincent - great snorkelling and my favourite place on earth: Tobago Cays - five small uninhabited islands within Horseshoe Reef, the only thing between you and Africa! Wonderful snorkelling, incredible beaches and hardly anyone around - maybe another yacht or two. Every day the local boys come round in their boats and offer to sell you fresh fish, lobster, bread, ice, jewellery, etc. They aren't too pushy and are very welcome when the nearest shop is several miles away. The Grenadines is a superb destination for yachting, but not for anyone looking for wild nights out. There are very few beach bars, and you have to make your own entertainment - or do as we did and lie out on deck under the stars, with a beer in your hand and Bob Marley softly playing on the stereo. Oh, and the Moorings is a great yacht charter company - highly recommended.
