Saint Vincent is the largest island of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. It is home to a live volcano, La Soufriere, which last erupted in 1979. Its summit is the highest peak in the country. The largest town is Kingstown, a modern, bustling metropolis with about 25,000 people. It is also the island’s main port. The rest of the population lives mostly along the coast. The island’s interior is mountainous and densely forested, and beautiful beaches with black sand (a consequence of island’s volcanic origin) surround it. In contrast, the beaches in the Grenadines have white sand. The Vermont Nature Trail is a popular way to get around the island’s spectacular natural scenery and see many island’s endemic species, as well as over 500 native parrots. A scenic coastal trail will take you pass by Fort Charlotte and many fantastic waterfalls, with breathtaking views around every corner. You might even try climbing to the summit of the Sufriere volcano.
