Chapter I · Grenadines Parish · 8 places
Grenadines Parish
An archipelago of five uninhabited cays protected by a horseshoe reef in the southern Grenadines, managed as a marine park. Sailors anchor in turquoise shallows to snorkel with green turtles at Baradal, and beach barbecues on the sand are a tradition among visiting yacht crews.

Saint George Parish
This fortified islet rises steeply from the sea off the southern coast of Saint Vincent near Young Island, its summit reached by a long flight of steps cut into the volcanic rock. Built by the British around 1800 to guard Calliaqua Bay, it retains cannon on two gun platforms at different levels. The narrow, near-vertical crag gave a commanding field of fire over the anchorage. The climb rewards visitors with views across the bay and the neighbouring islands.

Chapter III · Charlotte Parish · 1 place
Charlotte Parish
The active volcano dominating the north of Saint Vincent, which erupted explosively in April 2021 and reshaped its own summit crater. A trail from the windward side climbs through rainforest and old lava fields to the crater rim, one of the more demanding and rewarding hikes in the Lesser Antilles.

Saint Andrew Parish
Beside a river near the leeward village of Layou stands a large boulder carved with pre-Columbian petroglyphs, among the most significant rock-art sites in the eastern Caribbean. The engraved faces and geometric designs are attributed to the island's early Amerindian inhabitants. A small protected park interprets the carvings and their cultural context within Saint Vincent's Indigenous heritage. The riverside setting and the enigmatic images make it an important link to the island's earliest peoples.
