Abstract:
This highly detailed guide includes some smaller islands barely mentioned in competing books. Covers Mustique, Bequia, Palm Island, Tobago Cays, Carriacou, Mayreau, Petit St. Vincent, St. Vincent and Grenada, at the southern end of the Caribbean arc, just below St. Lucia. St. Vincent has the oldest botanical gardens in the Americas; on Bequia, some islanders still harpoon whales as their ancestors did; Grenada has pristine reefs and abundant natural beauty; and tiny Mustique, home to countless celebrities, has verdant mountains. Full details on sightseeing, island history, watersports, nightlife and more. Maps. Index.
