Leeward
Coast
Chateaubetair
The bay here, with its 40-foot deep reef
and array of brightly coloured fish, is
a snorkeller’s dream. While usually
a good anchorage, especially on the eastern
half of the bay, the northerly swells
in the winter months can cause difficulties.
CumberLand
Bay
The bay is very deep and those boats wishing
to anchor will need to do so with a bow
or sternrope to a palm tree. There is
no customs clearance.

Coast
Blue
Lagoon - Surrounded by palm trees,
this area with a lovely beach provides a very
pleasant anchorage. Moorings are available at
Barefoot Yacht Charters or The Lagoon Marina.
Villa
Beach and Indian Bay - There are two
white sand beaches on mainland St. Vincent located
on the southeast end of the island. They are
divided by a small hilly projection and are
easily accessible. Both beaches offer good snorkelling
and provide lovely views of Young Island and
some of the Grenadine islands.
Young
Island Cut - The anchorage here, lying
in clear water, is a favourite with yachtspeople.
Anchor with care as the current sweeps both
ways and the centre of the cut is 65 feet deep.
Moorings are available, but stay clear of the
sea bed close to Young Island itself. No customs
clearance.
Windward
Coast
On
the windward side of the island there are a
number of beautiful black sand beaches. Especially
popular is Argyle, a long beach
unto which breakers crash furiously. Most of
the windward beaches are not recommended for
swimming. Also you will find a lovely picturesque,
long beach at Black Point.
Brighton Beach is a secluded
black sand beach.This beach faces the Grenadines.
It has high waves and is the perfect place for
a bit of boogie boarding .
